The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is conducting an assessment of a new technology that employs Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light to sanitize airport checkpoint bins.

Lewisville Elementary School becomes one of the first schools in the US to adopt UV light-based technology to fight Covid-19. Based in Chester County, it will use Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV) sanitizers within school premises to ensure germ-free surroundings and safer access to education for its students.

“It has been known for 100 years that UV light is incredibly efficient in killing bacteria,” were the exact words of Dr. David Brenner, director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University while he was speaking with ABC7 New York, regarding the pilot project undertaken by New York City Transit for using Ultraviolet Technology to kill Covid-19 on surfaces.

Since the pandemic is showing no signs of leaving our lives anytime soon, different organizations are adopting different measures to fight it in their own ways. And, the age-old UV technology is clearly coming out to be one of the best. With sporting events halted for quite some time now, various teams, stadiums and facilities are turning to UV Disinfection devices in order to provide a safer environment to their players and public alike.

Retail stores and other businesses around the US are preparing to reopen amidst the coronavirus pandemic by using Ultraviolet light-based sanitization technology to ensure better overall safety for their customers as well as their staff. One such name is The Colorado Running Company, which has found an innovative solution to its shelve-restocking problem during the current situation.

With KeyWest International airport going the ultraviolet way for its disinfection purposes, the list of country’s airports that have been placing their trust in the technology is indeed becoming longer.
