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.

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.)
