This peer-reviewed article from Scientific Reports, shows that continuous Far UV-C exposure in occupied public locations at the current regulatory exposure limit (~3 mJ/cm2/hour) would result in ~90% viral inactivation in ~8minutes, 95% in ~11minutes, 99% in ~16minutes and 99.9% inactivation in ~25minutes. Thus while staying within current regulatory dose limits, low-dose Far UV-C exposure has the potential to safely provide a major reduction in the ambient level of airborne coronaviruses in occupied public locations.

Far UV-C light: A new tool to control the spread of airborne-mediated microbial diseases
Long‐term Effects of 222 nm ultraviolet radiation C Sterilizing Lamps on Mice Susceptible to Ultraviolet Radiation
In this peer-reviewed article it is shown for the first time that Far UV-C efficiently inactivates airborne aerosolised viruses, with a very low dose of 2mJ/cm2 of 222 nm light inactivating >95% of aerosolized H1N1 influenza virus. Continuous very low dose-rate Far UV-C light in indoor public locations is a promising, safe and inexpensive tool to reduce the spread of airborne-mediated microbial diseases.
