Discussion on effect of material on UV reflection and its disinfection with focus on Japanese Stucco for interior wall

Abstract Research has previously shown that ultraviolet light C (UV-C) can inactivate unexpected infection. However, this type of potential disinfection is dramatically reduced for the shadow area such as under desk or medical equipment. Because the UV-C reflectance ratio is low on the general wall...
