Design to Purify Environments of Microorganisms: Prospects For The Emergence of Covid19

Abstract

The emergence of Covid 19 has led societies to consider strategies to reduce the probability of contagion in closedenvironments or places with human traffic. One strategy usually considered in laboratories to avoid contaminationis the use of ultraviolet radiation light. UV light acts on the structure of DNA/RNA introducing alterations thatlead to non-functional cellular products (Herman et al. 2021; Valuntaitė and Girg?dienė 2010; Dėdelienė andJuknys 2010; Prasad et al. 2011; Tan and Linskey 2011; Enwemeka et al. 2020). On this basis we decided tomake the following conjecture: if an air stream within an environment is forced to circulate while being irradiatedby UV light it is plausible that the treated air is found to be mitigated in the percentage of particles with functionalgenetic material e.g. bacteria, yeasts and, fungi.The working hypothesis is as follows:Initial air (high cfu) −−−→ Final air (low cfu)↑ UV lightThe equipment should be placed in a space where the light does not radiate directly to people, such as corners,under furniture, etc.
