HOW DO THE SaniHandles® by Brookes WORK?
The sanitizer units contain two germicidal ultraviolet lamps. The germicidal lamp is a short wave low pressure mercury vapor tube that produces ultraviolet wavelengths that are lethal to microorganisms. Approximately 95% of the ultraviolet light energy emitted is at the mercury resonance line of 254 nanometers. This wavelength is approximately maximum germicidal effectiveness and is highly lethal to viruses, bacteria and mold spores. The genetic material of the microorganism is deactivated, which prevents it from reproducing and renders it harmless. WHAT ARE THE BENEFICIAL USES OF GERMICIDAL UV LIGHT? Ultraviolet light technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. This process is simple and inexpensive, requiring very low maintenance. Ultraviolet light sanitizers utilize germicidal lamps that are designed and calculated to produce a specific dosage of UV-C light (usually at least 16,000 microwatt seconds per square centimeter). The principle of design is based on a product of
