纽约市将用紫外线灯对公交地铁进行消杀

在尚未研制出新冠病毒特效药和疫苗的情况下，世界各国只能继续采取隔离措施，并加强消毒。纽约市决定在公交地铁上试点使用紫外线消毒灯，据称这种紫外线灯已被证实可以有效杀死新冠病毒。

The agency in charge of public transit in New York City announced a pilot program using ultraviolet light lamps to kill Covid-19 on buses and trains and at stations.

纽约市公共交通管理部门宣布将在一个试点项目中采用紫外线灯来杀死公交车、地铁和车站的新冠病毒。

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said Tuesday night that it will use "150 dual-headed mobile devices" from Denver-based start-up PURO Lighting to determine the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the UVC light technology, the agency said in a press release.

纽约大都会运输署5月19日晚在一份资讯稿中称，将使用丹佛初创企业PURO照明公司生产的“150双头移动设备”来确定紫外线灯技术的有效性和成本效益比。

UVC, which is one of three types of light on the UV spectrum, is proven to eliminate Covid-19 and is most potent against viruses and bacteria, PURO Lighting said. PURO noted that their lamps also have UVA and UVB as well for full spectrum disinfection.
