Germicidal irradiation
Germicidal irradiation is a sterilization method that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. When the UV light, especially UV-C, hits microbial DNA or RNA, it damages their genetic material, preventing them from reproducing and causing infection. This technology is commonly used in healthcare, water treatment, and air purification systems to reduce microbial contamination. It is an effective, chemical-free way to disinfect surfaces and environments, ensuring a safer, healthier space.
