Far-UVC ultraviolet light (207–222 nm) חן living) layers of human skin or eye; however, because bacteria and viruses are of micrometer or smaller dimensions, far-UVC can penetrate and inactivate them.
A project aimed to provide useful designs for developing devices for cleaning the air from viruses (like COVID-19) and bacteria using UVC light (the same one you can find in space). The designs were made taking care of users security, low cost, easy to build and flexible.

Many companies and organisations will need to be able to disinfect packages being delivered to the elderly and others may be also need to take extra precautions. If there is a way to disinfect packages this will enable far less infections from deliveries.
The best way to do this would would be to model the same disinfectant used within the medical field when they go into a disinfecting room. They are sprayed in a mist of chlorine solution to kill any bacteria.

Elctrochemical potentiostat/readout can be done fairly cheap (parts <50 $) and it can be very sensitive and fast (minutes). Alternatively, single-use electrodes could be used (as with glucose meters). I’m currently working on the and have some prototypes running
