Why are ultraviolet lights not more commonplace if they are so effective at sanitizing?

514 views

Wouldn’t it make sense to install UV lights in bathrooms? Over doors and possibly on door handles? I’ve seen wearable UV lights, but I don’t see it being worn by frontline personnel.
We have seen social distancing indicators, plexiglass dividers and masks become commonplace. I feel like UV light should also be more commonplace, but it isn’t. Why not?

Wow! I got some really great answers in such a short period of time. I had no idea UV light could be harmful, but it makes sense. I didn’t realize that it was only specific wavelengths that were effective, too.
Thanks for the thoughtful and informative answers, everyone!
