UVC radiation

UVC radiation is a type of ultraviolet light with the shortest wavelength and highest energy among UV rays. It has germicidal properties, meaning it can effectively inactivate bacteria, viruses, and fungi by damaging their DNA or RNA. UVC is used in sterilization and disinfection, often in medical and industrial settings. While it can be very effective for sterilization, UVC radiation can also be harmful to human skin and eyes, potentially causing burns or eye injuries. Because of its dangers, UVC devices are designed with safety features to prevent direct human exposure during operation.
