In a breakthrough for COVID-19 prevention, a team of researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has used UV-emitting LED lights to kill the virus indoors. Fast, effective and affordable, the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use ultraviolet (UV) rays to destroy COVID-19. The team say the technology will soon be available for both commercial and private use, with the potential to install the LEDs in air conditioning systems, vacuums and water supplies. Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of our lives, safely and quickly,” reads the abstract published on the Tel Aviv University website.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have proven that the coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). They believe that the UV-LED technology will soon be available for private and commercial use.
This is the first study conducted on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at different wavelengths or frequencies on a virus from the family of coronaviruses. The study was led by Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environmental Engineering Program at TAU s School of Mechnical Engineering, Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering.
