“Exploring Far-UVC: Blueprint Biosecurity’s 266-Page Report, a Call for Feedback, and Exciting Career Opportunities” by Juan Benzo🔸

TL;DR: Promise: Far-UVC demonstrates remarkable air-cleaning capabilities. In one of the most promising studies, its effectiveness was equivalent to “changing the air completely over in the room 184 times every hour,” compared to the CDC's recommendation of 5+ changes—and even hospital operating rooms only require 20 (Wood 2020). Neglect: Despite its promise, far-UVC is largely unknown outside academic and niche research circles. Tractability: Real-world safety and efficacy data are still pending; no FDA oversight exists, and current research is fragmented. Blueprint Biosecurity: They’ve dedicated two years to a 266 page pre-print report—the far-UVC pre-print Blueprint—which outlines research priorities and a path toward public trust, while also seeking to coordinate progress in this space. Call for feedback: Before they publish the final version of the far-UVC Blueprint, they are gathering feedback.
