New York’s transit authority has launched a virus-busting pilot that uses a special kind of germicidal ultraviolet light to disinfect the city’s subways and buses.
Calling it “another aggressive step” in keeping New York metro area’s transit system clean and safe, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Columbia University, and Denver-based startup PURO joined forces to develop a miniaturized ultraviolet-C (UVC) lamp that is portable and proven to kill germs.
