U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that ultraviolet light could be inserted into coronavirus patients was widely panned on Friday, but a California company thinks it's a perfect solution for decontaminating airplanes.
Dimer UCV Innovations created a UV-C-emitting cleaning machine called GermFalcon for the airline industry in 2014 - but it's only with the coronavirus that demand has really taken off. "We didn't want it to take a pandemic to create the demand in this industry.
That's the situation we're in and we're building our units as quickly as we can," said Elliot Kreitenberg, president and cofounder of Dimer UCV Innovations.
