Is it just full spectrum light or specific UV sections?
I wonder if future building codes will require some type of intermittent full spectrum or UV light in certain areas. Maybe in a bathroom with a timer that shuts it off a few seconds after someone enters.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoGlass blocks most of UVB and a chunk of UVA, so there isn't currently a good solution for indoor full spectrum light exposure.
- hutzlibu 3y agoNormal glass blocks most of it. But pure SiO2 fused quartz does not. A bit more affordable is probably borosilicate glass and I would like to have my windows replaced with them, but it is not really sold as a common window. So you can probably get one, but it won't be cheap.
- ilaksh 3y agoI meant like a type of lighting fixture that gives off full spectrum light.
- pazimzadeh 3y agoYou want UVB and not UVA, but UVB is weaker than UVA so all sunblocking type products necessarily enrich your exposure to the bad kind. The time when the ratio of UVB to UVA is highest (best time) between 10 am to 2 pm, or when your shadow is not longer than your height. So 20 mins in the sun at noon without sunblock is best, and after that if you’re pale then slather on the sunscreen.
- reducesuffering 3y agoThe article specifically mentions how nitric oxide is only released from UVA activation.
- pazimzadeh 3y agoYeah, just read that and I was going to edit my comment.
