N2 - Contaminated surfaces in clinics pose a pathogen transmission risk. Far ultraviolet-C light (UVC), with a favorable safety profile for human exposure, has the potential for continuous pathogen inactivation in occupied clinical areas. This study demonstrated real-world bioburden reduction on surfaces, despite frequent contamination from routine use by staff and patients in clinics.
