He goes into detail about wavelengths, devices, safety tolerances, application issues, concerns about breeding superbugs, the value of not saying the word radiation too loud, and other engineering and measurement questions.We as an industry will be talking more and more about health and wellness, and that comes with preventing illness as much as does with improving circadian rhythms.
