The death rays that guard life
I'v seen a "UV" switch next to the regular light switch in some private GP's offices in eastern europe. But I did immediatly think of skin cancer when i saw that switch.

It's far more dangerous to the eyes than to the skin.

I'm intrigued. Didn't know places were trying this idea somewhat "at scale." Do you know if they have any findings from where this was deployed?

It's widely used in hospitals. They also use moving robots which enter rooms and shine UV light in them.

That is awesome! I'm definitely interested to know if they have evidence showing that this leads to better outcomes.
