Abstract

The pandemic continues, as does the issue of preventing environmental pollution with harmful substances, viruses and bacteria. In these conditions, lighting technology and disinfection technologies based on the use of radiation in the ultraviolet spectral range open up wide opportunities. The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that modern events, namely pandemics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and wars, cause a large amount of environmental pollution with harmful substances, various viruses and bacteria. Unfortunately, these problems have affected the entire population of our planet, and in the future, without solving the issue of high-quality disinfection of various environments, they may lead to new, larger-scale disasters. The research was carried out in O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv was allowed to establish the possibility of using ultraviolet LEDs for the treatment of various environments infected with harmful microorganisms and Covid-19, to develop a method for modeling the curve of light intensity of a light device and an algorithm for calculating LED installations, which will provide the possibility of calculating and designing such installations for the disinfection of various environments, in particular, water environments and environments infected with Covid-19. Thus, studies have confirmed the possibility of using ultraviolet LEDs to disinfect the environment from particles of the Covid-19 virus, harmful microorganisms in 193various environments and to establish requirements for bactericidal installations in these conditions. And the developed method can be applied to any arbitrarily selected observation points, bases of LEDs and their environment, which makes the algorithm suitable for calculating light distribution from LED systems for bactericidal disinfection of various environments, including water or infected with Covid-19, from harmful microorganisms.
