UV-C Light

UV-C light is a type of ultraviolet light with short wavelengths that can inactivate or kill germs like bacteria and viruses by damaging their DNA or RNA, preventing them from reproducing. It is used for sterilization and disinfecting surfaces, air, and water because of its effectiveness. UV-C light is usually produced by special lamps and has a high energy level, but it can be harmful to human skin and eyes with direct exposure. Proper safety measures are essential when using UV-C technology for disinfection.
