I could see UV light also causing plastics to oxidize and become brittle much faster, because they might not be made for that kind of exposure. So using UV light might mean having to replace a lot of plastic things too.

Exactly, yes! Pretty much everything when left out in direct sunlight eventually fades or breaks down. There's a reason why UV light kills germs, it damages what is touches.

~~Because that is specifically UV-C and it's harmful to humans too. ~~

Correction: the article is about even smaller wavelength UV which is not as harmful to humans, my bad.

The issue with stuff that kills everything is that... Well it kills everything.

Because disease walks around as a person and is all the government, police, and banks. Even the jury and consumers here in fast food land, why does no one kill them all and live here. There’s natural food, processed food, jobs, cigarettes, booze, pharmacies, clothing, internet, addresses, electronic stores, knock off stores, bong stores, strip clubs, casinos, and now there’s weed stores. Hospitals what do you mean Japan was like a hospital itself. All anyone did was health stuff preparing for sexual things, and some drug use, but cigarette smoking ruined it. They got that mad about it, and probably alcohol, someone must have faked drug laws existing. Somehow there’s some election system or court that ruins it all. Oh well we all behave and lay in bed like we were supposed to with these TVs

Oh yes and there’s disease added to the food/drinks to brainwash everyone into the parasite economics thing that’s them stealing and embezzling everything and acting with it. But nothing could go on without sanitation or narcotic use, these things wanted occupy someone’s brain and seek attention 24 hours a day in the same house as them.

We’d have to starve ourself while working or finding a job but everyone was self employed, celebrities, and or business owners, stock holders. Maybe shareholders didn’t have these issues. There may have been uv c light bulbs in public schools or outdoor street posts which is why they worked so well at pulling everyone’s mind out of disease banking systems, where the disease didn’t even start it. They were just on the money as in a virus or bacteria physically on it, and they were on cards that come in the mail with that as a way to track you. Seems terrible but it for sure ended identity theft and credit card fraud.

You really dont want to live in a sterile environment, you actually need some stimulation to your immune and other bodily systems. Most body stuff is like muscles including the immune system - when you regularly over load and stress them, thats the impulse to stimulate growth and evolving.

There is a setting in most computer monitors and maybe televisions but depends on it, with del it’s a for sure thing that existed, but it’s controlled from a transmitter, it has to get really bad and be the last stand, which it’s getting there. All it does is emit uv c radiation in certain amounts it’s too make sure that it’s an actual person or an animal using the computer. Parasites do weird types of stalking and crazy amounts of conspiracies through stolen computers or computers at places that are left on and it unlocked. They’ll even install software and then sit in some random closet or place using the computer making websites or duplicating things that get sold. It’s weird we assumed they all just used one host.

The uv c light kills the parasite and or bacteria/virus that’s in a human form using the computer. An actual person won’t die from it (a virus or bacteria immediately dies or it severely damages them and it isn’t fixable) possibly even suffer vision loss, I could never stand extremely bright lights until experiencing the radiation I think I had an old dell latitude computer that emitted uv c in small amounts. But noticed that over the years I had trouble keeping my eyes open and couldn’t stand being outside, I used IGF and mgf in my eyes through eye drops 2 mcg a ml, to try and help my blurry vision which I assumed was caused by my eye lashes or could gunk build up in the eye. Eye drops help and did improve vision, my vision got bad but sometimes was like it wasn’t bad but didn’t know what from. Maybe high co2 levels or chemicals in the air. There is hgh for vision issues, that’s what regular doctors used for it. The same amount can cure hairloss just not sure about jintropin curing it. The methionine is important or the most important thing, but it may not be true or just requires more or longer time period to regrow. Ultra violet radiation may also cause hair to grow instead of fall out, male pattern baldness may just be a yeast infection and hair may also fall out from certain steroids but it doesn’t stop it from regrowing.

I slept great and felt very relaxed after the uv c couple second burn into the cornea or staring at the bulb directly or into it for a couple seconds and feeling the zap. It didn’t hurt but was like an electrical sizzle short out followed by feeling great and free.

But these are high strength made for sanitizing a room or probably hundreds of feet, but ultraviolet radiation could travel miles, it doesn’t stop it keeps bouncing off things, but the rays spread out as they move away from the light bulb.

They just may notice their overall sensation of the atmosphere or the world around them changes when the radiation hits their skin or eyes, not sure which. I wonder if daylight LED light bulbs emit small levels of uv c. Probably not but they could. Sometimes uv bulbs were the only white LED bulb that existed, they were on little microscope loupes and things.

At first I didn’t get into them because my skin was red only under the 6000 kelvin daylight bulb.
