I checked them yesterday in Amazon, really hard to get one in the 100 - 250nm. The only provider I found (through web searching, not Amazon) didn't even replied me the e-mail I wrote to them.

Any links to buy this?

Sneeze and mucus particles can be WAY larger than viruses and bacteria themselves, too large for UVC to effectively penetrate . . .
UVC Germicidal Fixtures today are placed inside of the HVAC system to protect people from the the UV light. They use Mercury lamps (λ = 253.7 nm). This can only clean the air that passes through the HVAC and so only works while the HVAC is running.

Looks like this paper is saying we could put up filtered Kr-Cl excimer lamps like standard light fixtures and get more benefits.

My understanding is that UV light can create ozone, which is toxic. So that's a problem. Not saying it is insurmountable.
The UV light I just bought claims to not create ozone.

Is that even possible? (Hoping someone knows more than me)
