ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a mobile germicidal system and a process of decontaminating a wall and a ceiling of a room of undesirable substances. The system comprises a frame, a displacement device and an germicidal lamp. The displacement device is selected from the group comprising a wheel, a castor, a ball, a disk, a drum, a roller, and a traction belt. The displacement device is affixed to the frame. The germicidal lamp is affixed to the frame at a non-vertical incline. The process comprises providing a mobile germicidal system comprising an germicidal lamp having an enclosure having an exposed portion, at least a portion of the exposed portion disposed non-vertically and emitting ultraviolet radiation from the germicidal lamp at a wavelength substantially at 253.7 nm through all points in a horizontal area 6″ directly above the mobile germicidal system while generating an insignificant quantity or less of ozone.
