There are PLENTY of place you could deploy this without shining them directly on people as we continue studying the details, but this isn’t a single new paper.
Also, from the article.
“This reduction was achieved using Far-UVC irradiances consistent with current American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit values for skin for a continuous 8-h exposure.”
Thus has been under research for a decade now. Plus the effects of UV on humans is pretty damn well studied at this point. This is just finding the right crossover point that’s effective against microbes, but no longer dangerous against more complex organisms.
I also think we should start retrofitting all ventilation systems with UV disinfectants.
My concern is the effect on the microbes on our skin that we rely on.
