Government regulation and UVC technology adoption 

Government regulation is critical in any new technology's widespread adoption and success. If regulatory bodies are unaware of the potential benefits and risks, they may delay or completely halt its implementation. In the context of UVC technology, there's a pressing need for these bodies to acknowledge its effectiveness and endorse its adoption. From the perspective of Steve Grabenheimer, there's a gap to be filled. 

While discussing his experiences in the podcast, he voiced his frustration with regulatory bodies' slow response to adopting UVC technology. He cites examples of organizations like NASA and the US Army using UVC for sterilization to underline its credibility. In his view, the private sector is ahead of government bodies in recognizing and implementing UVC technology, hinting at a need for better regulatory preparedness for such advancements.
