UV-C radiation
<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation is the type of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) with wavelengths around 200-280 nm, demonstrating high decontamination efficiency<\/strong> among UVGIs. The powerful germicidal properties of UV-C have been recognized for over a century.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Disinfection with UV-C<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

\u200b<\/span><\/strong>UV-C has become a crucial method for inactivating a wide range of microorganisms<\/strong>, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it an essential tool in combating airborne pathogens. It is widely used in food processing and water treatment due to its efficiency, low cost, and, most notably, zero chemical residue. The potential of UV-C has also been explored in healthcare, such as to reduce or inactivate different airborne viruses, such as influenza, surface bacteria, and multi-drug-resistance bacteria in hospital rooms. Recently, the use of UV-C as a disinfectant has escalated, mainly to decontaminate surfaces and medical instruments<\/strong> in healthcare facilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When UV-C radiation is exposed to microorganisms, the rays are absorbed by bases of the organisms\u2019 nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and the photodimerization process occurs. This process results in the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in the DNA and RNA strands, inhibiting cell replication ability, and ultimately, <\/span>cell death<\/span><\/strong> occurs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The most\u00a0common<\/span> method of producing UV-C is with the mercury vapor discharge lamp, where an average of 14-30%<\/span> of the energy is converted to UV-C.
