Autonomous robots that find and disinfect surfaces with UV light. Auto UV that activates and disinfects rooms when unoccupied. Today, we’re speaking with Barry Hunt (@BarryHunt008) and Dr. Richard Martinello (Yale School of Medicine) about how UV is being used in healthcare settings, and the needs that are driving those innovations.

Today, we are diving into the topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS. We are speaking with Dr. Erin Mackey from Brown and Caldwell (Twitter: @brwncald | Instagram: @Brown_And_Caldwell) and Dr. Jim Malley from the University of New Hampshire (@UofNH) to learn where these compounds come from, why they are such a challenge, how they can be removed from drinking water, and what research is telling us about the future of PFAS control.

On today’s special edition of wavelength, Michael and Nathan go over some of the recent news from around the IUVA, including COVID-19 Task Force updates, UV Solutions, and YP announcements.

Today on Wavelength, host Michael Hofmann is joined by Prof. Hadas Mamane, associate professor and head of the Environmental Engineering program at Tel Aviv University.
