伦敦地铁自动扶梯开始采取紫外线消毒处理

据有关新闻10月26日的报道，英国伦敦地铁系统的自动扶梯中，有25%的自动扶梯扶手上装有紫外线（UV）照明设备，可杀死诸如冠状病毒等微生物。ClearWin是Aseptic Ltd.发明的一种自动供电的消毒器，通过UV-C光波进行消毒。该设备首先在希思罗T123地铁站进行测试。结果，伦敦运输系统决定继续在其他站点安装这些设备，计划要求将该设备安装在系统最繁忙的站点的110台自动扶梯上。伦敦运输系统已经通过这种方法开始测试自动扶梯中是否存在冠状病毒，希望该设备能够鼓励人们在搭乘扶梯过程中放心握住扶手。

LonDON UNDERGROUND ESCALATORS GETTING UV TREATMENT

Handrails on about 25% of the London Underground's escalators are being fitted with ultraviolet (UV) light devices to kill microbes, such as the coronavirus, Ian Visits reported on October 26. Aseptic Ltd.'s ClearWin, a self-powered sterilizer that uses the UV-C light wavelength to kill microbes, was tested at the Heathrow T123 Tube station and, as a result, Transport for London (TfL) decided to move forward with installing them at other stations. Plans call for the device to be fitted on 110 escalators at some of the system's busiest stations. TfL, which has been testing its escalators for the presence of the coronavirus, said it hopes the devices will encourage people to hold the handrails.
