I wanted to link an explanation of how far-UVC works, why you might want to use it to clean indoor air, and what we know about its safety. I didn't find anything I liked, so I made something: faruvc.org.

Let me know if you have ideas for making it better! My goal is to have something anyone can understand, without simplifying so much that it's misleading.

At some point I'd like to include an illustration showing far-UVC in use in an occupied space, but I don't have one I like right now.

(While I'm an employee of SecureBio, this is a personal project.)
