As someone with a photosensitivity disorder, anything shorter than 405 nm spells trouble for me. This is kind of a nightmare scenario really.

- tln 4y agoSorry to hear that :( Is there anything you use to detect light like this? Digital spectrum meters or UV detector keychain etc.
- at_a_remove 4y agoPain, really. Anything shorter than "purple" is enough. I just can't imagine how I would function if this sort of thing became commonplace.
- _0ffh 4y agoAccording to the article, 222nm would already be stopped by the thin coat of dead cells on the skin. So it shouldn't penetrate far enough to cause any trouble.
- jefftk 4y agoAre you sure something as low 220nm would? This is short enough that the chemical changes it causes are very different than longer UV.
- at_a_remove 4y agoIt sure will be exciting to find out.
