UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation)

UVGI, or Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation, is a method of disinfecting air, surfaces, or water using UV-C light, a type of ultraviolet radiation. This light damages the DNA or RNA of germs like bacteria, viruses, and molds, preventing them from multiplying or causing infection. UVGI is used in settings like hospitals, laboratories, and HVAC systems to reduce microbial contamination safely and effectively. It offers a chemical-free way to improve sanitation, especially in areas where traditional cleaning may not reach completely. Properly installed and maintained UVGI systems provide an additional layer of protection against disease transmission.
