Dutch firm Signify teamed up with Boston University researchers to establish how effective UV light is at degrading coronavirus.

Eric Rondolat, Signify CEO, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" that UV light particles are capable of disrupting virus DNA chains, rendering them ineffective.

Rondolat said the company's UV light is able to eradicate 96% of the coronavirus with three seconds of exposure. That goes up to 99% for six seconds of exposure.
