That is true of ordinary UV light. It is not true of sterilizers using light only in the UV-C spectrum, which is unfortunately injurious to human vision. That makes it too hazardous to use in sterilizing rooms.

The Chinese use huge bus barns with roll-up doors with huge UV-C lights to sterilize 6-10 buses at a time, in two long lines, with humans excluded from the whole building. They roll the buses in at night when they're out of service. I don't know how long the buses are stuck in there.

And there are small box-shaped UV-C sterilizers for sterilizing small items like N95 masks. I have a foldable one. It has an opague plastic fabric around it.

I haven't done any research on using UV to kill Covid-19 and other viruses, but there is an ad for a light to use in the home to sterilize rooms. And it does says the light is harmful to human vision.

Have you come across this product?

That’s cool about the bus sterilizers.

NYC could use some of those.
