UV radiation will save rooms and people
OPINION OF A NATIONAL DOCTOR
“I am indignant that we still do not have real sanitary and epidemiological control over the situation with the threatening mortal coronavirus,” Nina Kamanina, our regular reader, a doctor by profession, who worked in the field of medicine for half a century, began with excitement in her voice. – Firstly, this virus is recognized as a particularly dangerous infection. Secondly, entire cities have already been closed in China and much is being done to reduce the mortality rate in their country and the likelihood of the virus spreading to other countries. They realized that today’s numbers (dozens of deaths from infection) in the near future can grow to indicators with many zeros. Why, in Russia, where thousands of people began to return from the New Year holidays, little is done in terms of sanitary and epidemiological control?
As a doctor, I think: it is urgent to carry out sanitation (quartzization) with ultraviolet light at stations and airports, as well as the Moscow metro. Proven by the practice of decades: disinfection, sterilization with ultraviolet lamps completely destroys viruses, bacteria. Such processing is carried out today in operating rooms, in maternity hospitals, someone even does it at home. At the same time, not only viruses are killed, but also any microflora, staphylococci and other pathogens.
Today, you can install such lamps (there are floor lamps) at train stations, at airports, and always in the subway (these are the most serious foci of infection). At least in Moscow, where the greatest crowding in our countries. And how often to do this, epidemiologists must decide. Perhaps this will require additional financial expenses. But human losses cannot be compensated by anything. Yes, and cash costs in the event of an epidemic will require significantly more than at the stage of disease prevention. After all, while the sanitary and epidemiologists are slow, the virus can fall on our country like a snowball. And then no one will seem a little.
COMMENT OF THE EXPERT INFECTIOUS:
“Yes, indeed, quartzing could protect against a dangerous coronavirus, which can penetrate into Russia with patients coming primarily from China,” said an experienced infection specialist, head. Department of childhood infections RNIMU them. N.I. Pirogova, MD, professor Lyudmila MAZANKOVA. – Such disinfection helps get rid of any viruses and bacteria. Affects all respiratory diseases. And coronavirus is the causative agent of acute respiratory infection, manifested by intoxication syndrome and catarrh of the respiratory or digestive tract. Pathology usually proceeds in the form of rhinopharyngitis or gastroenteritis. And it starts like a normal ARI.
From the point of view of science. As a result of quartzization, all infectious microorganisms die (in air and on surfaces): viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, yeast, spores, etc. This is achieved by absorbing a dose of ultraviolet radiation from the DNA molecules of microbes. You can disinfect not only the air and surfaces of the premises, but even carry out general quartzing of the entire human body and its individual parts (ear, throat, nose, skin). Today, this method is widely used in medical facilities.
The study of ultraviolet radiation began in 1800. In medicine, it began to be used almost a hundred years later, in 1892, when the beneficial effect of ultraviolet light, which destroys bacteria and microbes, was discovered. For the first time, a quartz lamp for medical use was made only in 1906.
