Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) uses ultraviolet light, specifically UV-C rays, to disinfect and kill germs like bacteria and viruses. When microbes absorb UV-C light, it damages their DNA or RNA, preventing them from reproducing and causing infections. UVGI is often used in sterilizing surfaces, air, and water in hospitals, laboratories, and HVAC systems, providing an effective, chemical-free method to reduce microbial contamination. It’s a safe and efficient technology when properly implemented, helping improve hygiene and reduce the spread of disease.
