Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UGVI)

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) uses ultraviolet light, specifically UV-C rays, to kill or inactivate germs such as bacteria, viruses, and mold. The UV-C rays damage their DNA or RNA, preventing them from reproducing and rendering them harmless. This technology is used to disinfect air, water, and surfaces in various settings like hospitals and water treatment plants. UVGI is an effective, chemical-free method that provides rapid sterilization, helping reduce the spread of infectious agents and improve hygiene without introducing harmful substances.
