Germicidal UV (GUV)

Germicidal UV (GUV) uses ultraviolet light, specifically UV-C rays, to kill or inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. When these microorganisms are exposed to UV-C light, their DNA or RNA is damaged, preventing them from replicating and causing infection. GUV is often used in disinfection applications such as air and surface sterilization in healthcare, laboratories, and public spaces. It is a chemical-free method that offers a quick, effective way to reduce germs, but it must be used carefully to avoid potential harm to skin and eyes from direct exposure.
