ABSTRACT
With the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, the demand for high-quality, low-cost, and safe use equipment for disinfecting hospitals, offices, schools, restaurants, supermarkets, etc., is growing. Although for years it has been known that the ozone produced by the UV-C technology irradiation is highly germicidal, its commercial use for enclosed spaces disinfection as a source of bacteria and viruses' infections is recent. Motivated by the above, this article introduces a low-cost ozone and UV-C light-emission portable device to satisfy the growing demand for disinfection of enclosed and unoccupied spaces. gLAMP, the proposal of this work, offers users a safe-to-use disinfection process by incorporating a pair of sensors into the design to measure air quality, keep users out of the risk area and streamline the ozone diffusion and ventilation processes in the area to be disinfected. As well as a mobile application to control and monitor the equipment and disinfection service remotely. Preliminary tests were carried out to verify the functionality of gLAMP and its potential commercial impact. © 2022 ACM.
