THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE LIST

The germs, pathogens, viruses, and microorganisms that UVC technology can treat in your home, office, or vehicle.

This is a list of organisms, pathogens, viruses, and germs that UVC technology can treat. It represents some of the more common pathogens in your home, office, or vehicle that UVC light has been clinically proven to neutralize. This is not exhaustive list because that would be a long list (but for those of you who want to see that full list, you can see it at the bottom of this post)!
