Ultraviolet light disinfection
Ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection uses specific wavelengths of UV-C light to kill or inactivate microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When these microbes absorb UV-C radiation, it damages their DNA or RNA, preventing them from reproducing and causing infections. This method is effective for sterilizing surfaces, air, and water without introducing chemicals. UV disinfection is commonly used in hospitals, water treatment, and air purification systems, offering a quick and chemical-free way to reduce microbial contamination. Proper safety measures ensure that UV light exposure is controlled to prevent harm to humans.
