About this listen
In this episode, Linda Lybert sits down with Peter Gordon, Board of Education member, UV industry veteran, and volunteer with UV4Good, a nonprofit dedicated to education around photonic disinfection. Together, they unpack the complexities healthcare leaders face when choosing and using UV systems.
Peter breaks down:
- The different types of UV emitters (LED, mercury, xenon) and what they’re actually good for
- Why line‑of‑sight, room layout, and human behavior can make or break effectiveness
- How to evaluate sales claims, ask the right questions, and avoid costly missteps
- What the EPA, FDA, and UK regulators are — and aren’t — doing
- How hospitals can validate performance, build staff habits, and monitor long‑term effectiveness
- The “Goldilocks zone” of UV: balancing pathogen reduction with protecting hospital materials
Whether you’re an infection preventionist, environmental services leader, or just curious about the technology behind safer healthcare environments, this conversation delivers clarity, nuance, and practical guidance straight from someone who has lived it from both the technical and educational sides.
