David Weber, MD, MPH, professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases, commented on UV light technology, which is used in the LARQ Bottle. The new bottle was designed to give people around the world access to pristine drinking water, easily and sustainably. A news report in reports the bottle’s technology activates every two hours in self-cleaning mode, basking the water and the inner surface in purifying UV light to keep water and the bottle free of germs.
“UV Light has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective method to disinfect water,” said Weber in the article. “UV is environmentally friendly, leaves no residuals and is microbicidal – effectively killing germs.”
