Abstract
- In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of 222-nm wavelength ultraviolet (UV) light for medical applications due to its potent germicidal properties and reduced risk of harm to human tissue. This review explores the current state of research surrounding the utilization of 222 nm UVC light in various medical settings. We discuss its efficacy in disinfection, potential applications in wound healing, and dermatology, and its role in combating airborne pathogens. Furthermore, we address safety considerations and future directions for research and development in this promising field.
