Abstract
A system for sanitizing an article includes an ultraviolet light emitting a wavelength of light anywhere between 122-230 nm projected toward the article. A medium dispersed about the article and intersecting with the projected ultraviolet light is also provided. The medium interacts with the frequency of light to generate reactive oxygen species that eliminate microbes on the article. Specific light wavelengths may be used in combination with different mediums.
