UV-C

UV-C refers to a specific type of ultraviolet light with wavelengths between 200 and 280 nanometers. It has germicidal properties, meaning it can destroy or inactivate microorganisms like bacteria and viruses by damaging their genetic material. UV-C light is used in sterilization and disinfection processes for surfaces, air, and water, helping to reduce the spread of infections. It is effective but must be used with caution, as direct exposure can harm human skin and eyes. UV-C technology is a powerful tool for maintaining hygiene in healthcare, sanitation, and other environments.
