Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI)

-
According to new developments from Asian Review, there has been a breakthrough in ultraviolet LEDs. Now instead of large bulbs, UV LEDs can be used to sterilize an infinite variety of applications in medical and consumer fields. As indicated in the article UV LED breakthrough by Nikkiso will allow home applications better than current germicide applications.
As I indicated before this application will be very useful for sterilization of money at ATM machines from the previous article. Companies such as LED Engine have created UV LED Gen 2 in the 365nm range




This modules uses the light from deep UV LEDs to disinfect running water.

I can see thousands of new products that Japan is probably developing and third world countries for applications for clean drinking water for citizens, home use, and for use in camping.

This technology could be used in a refrigerator when the door is closed to kill bacteria on foot, and for use in the restaurant industry as well. Food placed in fast foot trays could be exposed to this UV LED to guarantee it won't have any bacteria present.
an UV LED wand could be developed for use in sterlization of food preparation surfaces in various industries including meat packing plants, chicken and pork processing plants.

Georgia Partying Hardy on Campus

-
 Georgia Partying Hardy on Campus, The universities and youth of Georgia were having a block party like many youth in college on the weekends. But, there is a great pandemic going on! Do you have children, Do you let them play in the streets? That is the stance you must take with Covid-19. A mask mandate is essential unless you think killing off Georgia voters is your intent. People don't have commonsense. This is a real pandemic and you must mandate masks and PPE. If someone has bubonic plagus or measles, or the mumps they are not allowed at school. Covid-19 is deadly than measles or mumps. Mandating masks with fines is a message to the people that this pandemic is deadly. Asymptomatic people make this situation even worse, with people spreading the virus without knowing they are doing so. Without 100% compliance and testing, we will never get rid of this virus.  Do what is right, protect the people of Georgia. Children get upset because they can't play in the street, but at ...

Got Milk ! Raw Milk is very bad for you! Remember Louis Pasteur?

-
  Why is raw milk bad for you? Why do you pasteurize milk? Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization for a reason!         Raw milk can pose several health risks due to the presence of harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, as well as parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. These pathogens can cause foodborne illnesses, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and in severe cases, even death, particularly in vulnerable populations like young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.      Pasteurization is a process of heating milk to a specific temperature (usually around 161°F or 72°C) for a set period (typically 15-30 seconds) and then rapidly cooling it down. This process effectively kills harmful bacteria and pathogens while preserving most of the milk's nutritional value and taste. Pasteurization helps to make milk safer for consumption ...

Antibacterial ATM Machine Certification

     1.0 Automated Teller Machines 1.1   ATM Health Issues Microbes are the oldest forms of life on earth. Many types have existed for billions of years. Bacteria are a type of microorganism that is capable of growing on any surface including liquids and moist surfaces. A few pathogenic strains of bacteria are known to cause infectious diseases. The wide spread use of electronic technology is another source of contamination. 60% of all people us an ATM at least once a week. Public health concerns regarding the spread of bacteria and diseases via automated teller machines have become an issue to reduce the spread to the public. ATM centers are usually in air conditioned, cold and damp environments that favor the growth of microorganisms. The study involves the collection of samples by using cotton swabs from various ATM centers in Chennai. Sixty five samples were analyzed for the presence of predominant pathogenic bacteria. Among the 65 samples 27 (...
