Schools And Safety: How UVC LED Technology Can Help Re-Opening Safely
8/7/2020
As late summer approaches, the safe reopening of schools is of major concern, as the COVID 19 pandemic continues. Once again, Livermore, CA based Bolb, Inc. is taking a leadership role in creating a pathogen elimination response to this global challenge. The implementation of virus inactivating ultraviolet (UVC) Germicidal LED (GLED) technology helps protect educators, staff, and students, by reducing surface contamination and creating air disinfection methods to help contain delineated safe breathing zones.
