Allergies to things like cats and dust mites are tough to mitigate because the allergens can stick around long after the animals are gone.

While ultraviolet (UV) light is harmful for human skin, it could be a new tool in the fight against airborne allergies. A study recently published in the journal ACS ES&T Air found that UV light can ...

CU Boulder researchers discovered UV light can deactivate allergens within 30 minutes, offering potential relief for allergy sufferers.

The light alters the structure of allergens, making it less likely they’ll trigger an allergic reaction After 30 minutes, UV lights effectively decreased allergen levels 20% to 25% on average TUESDAY, ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder suggest that ultraviolet (UV) light can neutralize airborne allergens in just 30 minutes.

Installing germicidal ultraviolet (UV) air purification devices that run 24/7 in an endoscopy room alongside standard cleaning protocols substantially reduced bacterial colony-forming units (CFU) of ...

Instead of eliminating the proteins that cause allergies, scientists at CU Boulder are changing its structure with UV light.

Scientists have shown that far-UVC lights, which are already commercially available, can rapidly break down common airborne allergens, offering a safe and fast new way to ease asthma and allergy ...

This emerging UV technology enhances disinfection in challenging wastewater conditions by increasing UV transmission through reduced path lengths, with proven pilot results ...

The UV Index measures the ultraviolet radiation coming from the sun. There are three primary types of UV radiation: ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB), and ultraviolet C (UVC). The difference ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder believe they have found a simple way to reduce common allergens from indoor spaces by using a type of ultraviolet light which can effectively ...
