Abstract:
1. A system for sanitizing an article, comprising: an ultraviolet light emitting a wavelength of light anywhere between 122-230 nm projected toward the article; a partially enclosed chamber which carries said ultraviolet light; a medium dispersed about the article and intersecting with the projected ultraviolet light while in said partially enclosed chamber, wherein said medium comprises at least two substituents, one said substituent is nitrogen gas and the other said substituent is a liquid, and, wherein both said nitrogen gas and said liquid react with said ultraviolet light in said partially enclosed chamber to generate reactive species that eliminate microbes on the article; and a tank for holding said liquid substituent, said tank supplying said liquid substituent delivered to said partially enclosed chamber; and a vacuum UV light which emits a wavelength of ultraviolet light toward said liquid substituent prior to entering said partially enclosed chamber, wherein said liquid substituent is water pre-treated by exposure to light generated by the vacuum UV light.
