John Dziedzic, Managing Partner and owner, said that a significant body of scientific research has proven UV light’s ability to inactivate an extensive list of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa. UV light, specifically be- tween 200-280nm[i] (UVC or the germicidal range), inac- tivates (aka, ‘kills’) at least two other coronaviruses that are near-relatives of the COVID-19 virus: 1) SARS-CoV-1[ii] and 2) MERS-CoV[iii] [iv] [v]. The effectiveness of UV light in practice depends on factors such the exposure time and the ability of the UV light to reach the viruses. Jack Karas, Managing Partner and owner, commented that according to AFP Fact Check, “Ultraviolet is able to kill COVID-19 if it is exposed to the concentrated UV ray in a certain amount of time and distance. Most likely, it will be in the light bulb or lamp as the natural UV from the sun is not strong enough to kill it.” “What makes Oxytech’s product unique and useful to us is the 800-watt output,” said Randy Scamacca, Vice President, Corporate Engineering for SG360°. “This is an industrial strength device that allows us to disinfect large areas quickly and efficiently, including equipment that otherwise would not be possible to address. In my mind Oxytech’s UV sanitizing system was a game chang- er in our effort to create a safe workplace and shows how committed we are to keeping our employees safe.” See www.oxytechsystems.com or call (847) 888-8611.
