My understanding, and I may be wrong, is that UV Therapy, helps when you are just exposed to UV light a certian amount of hours a day.  You are supposed to be free to eat, read, sew, or whatever other activity twangs yer thang while doing your therapy. So, I don't think that it matters that the UV box is not over your head, as long as you get the prescribed treatment of 15 minutes to 2 hours that is usually called for.\n\nOutside is another matter all the way around.  Even on cloudy days, the body soaks up UV rays.  Have you ever been out on a fishing boat on a cloudy day and gotten a terrible sunburn??  Or to the beach, and had the same result?  Just as you can get the radiation benefits and the start of a great tan on a cloudy day, you can get the same UV waves you are seeking to up that serotonin level that makes you feel bright and chipper.  I would say, that yes, it still works through sunglasses, and windows, unless they are UV protected.  And, if you were to shield only your eyes, hon, you would still get what you need from Mr. Golden Sun.  He seldom disappoints.  If it worries you terribly, consider tanning. (Which might worry you more, but an alternative.)  You can sunscreen up, cover your eyes, and get maximum UV exposure in about a quarter of the time it takes to do it the lightbox, or the outdoor way.  I use my tanning bed in the winter, for just that.  I hope this helps you :) Cheers!\n\nP.S.  I usually read or work crossword puzzles while I am in the tanning bed, so it may be something that can work for you.

According to their website, they are using a narrow band UVB process. They state:\n\n"Narrow Band UVB virtually eliminates superfluous and harmful UV by emitting only wavelengths 311-312 nm. Clinical studies show the peak therapeutic effectiveness of UVB to be within the range of 295-313 nm, but wavelengths below 300 nm can cause erythema or severe burning and increase the risk of skin cancer. "\n\nHope this sets you mind at ease!

Most glass blocks UVA and UVB rays, but a small portion gets transmitted through...so yes you can, but you would have to really work at it.

I generally follow the recommendations provided by our safety officer at my academic lab.\n\nIf your liquid cultures can afford the extra volume, you can just add a lot of deionized h2o, that should stop the growing (by lysing the cells).  Then toss in the bio-hazard bag, for the autoclave.  \n\nOr, if you have access to an autoclave, then autoclave the culture, and you can probably dump down the drain.\n\nCheck with your safety officer!!\n\nIt was fun thinking about your question.  Pass on the good Karma!

generally, the best thing to do is seal it after heating it to a high temperature that should kill anything that might be in it.  Other than that, if you incubate it and don't see any growth (eg biofilm, hazy coloration, downy molds, etc) you should be okay.

Vodka...\n\nNo, nothing kills the fungus but you can stop the growth by using distilled vinegar (get a cheap one).

How about the effectiveness of different sodas on mold growing. Have you ever left a coke for a week and come back and it was molded? I've always wanted to do that project.

It depends on what preservatives were used, how hot it is, how humid it is, how you are storing the bread, whether it has been sliced and a gretamany other factors. In the tropics it's quite possible to see visible mold develop on fresh bread overnight.\n\nOf course visible mold is not the same as mold. Mold will start groing on bread almost as soon as the first spore hits it after it has cooled. In the strictly biological sense mold will be growing on most sliced bread within a couple of hours.

Yes they can. Increased sensitivity to sun or ultraviolet light is a side effect of OTC

Speaking from personal experience mold can be extremely dangerous to someone's health. I lived in a basement that had mold and I had problems breathing and I swelled up several sizes. I also became very depressed. I didn't connect everything until months later.\n\nIt can be even more dangerous for small children- there is even some evidence that certain types of mold are linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)\n\nI know there are lots of different kinds of mold but if you have any in your house it would be well worth the expense of getting it professionally removed.

actually it should be. bronzing rays (UVA) go deeper into your skin to hold color longer and better. they also take away the red tint that you might posess when you are tanning. and they are usually not as hot temperature wise!

we have a u/v light they said it was good cuz it shocks the water and kills the bacteria before it get to us....i take it they also shocked your well with chlorine...DONOT wash colored clothes for a few days!!!it will ruin them...they told my mom it was alright to wash clothes....she ruined my new outfit...i was fit to be tied(lol)....but it is very effective and does a good job...when it needs to be changed...it will automatically beep....don't Wait too long to call them(i think you have 1 week )

Radioactive light and it kills the cells it comes in contact with...

UV rays are just a "color" of light that cannot be seen by humans. It has too short of a wavelength. UV is typically broken down into UVA and UVB. \nAmongst other things, UV light can be used for gettnig a nice tan, curing some adhesives, damaging most kinds of plastics (take a look at the dashboard of an old car - that cracking is due to UV damage)

I am not a pro.,but I'd say yes. Mold is hazardous to your health. The materials that the mold is on needs to be removed.Mold can make your very sick.  Type in your search box on your computer "mold in house",several websites will come up for you to go to or I have one that I picked listed below.
