Far-ultraviolet-C exposure in patients with photosensitivity disorders
Far-ultraviolet-C (far-UVC) radiation, with its germicidal properties, shows promise in reducing the spread of infectious diseases in public and healthcare settings. Emerging evidence suggests minimal risk to human skin and eyes, but its safety for patients with photosensitivity disorders remains uncertain. This study aims to fill this gap by assessing the safety of far-UVC exposure for individuals with these conditions.
