The 2023 International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) World Congress, held in Dubai, UAE, from September 10–13, convened global leaders in UV technology. This premier event featured the latest research, innovations, and applications of ultraviolet (UV) technology in sectors such as public health, water treatment, and environmental protection.

XCMR’s team presented groundbreaking research at the inaugural ICFUST conference, which convened more than 200 attendees to discuss advancements in Far UV-C technology. The event focused on the latest applications of Far UV-C for public health, pathogen inactivation, and environmental protection.

Light in the 200-235 nm range, or Far UV-C, is one of the most promising tools for dramatically reducing airborne transmission from day one of almost any pandemic caused by airborne pathogens. If adopted widely, it could also have a dramatic impact on seasonal flu, colds, and endemic COVID-19.
