What are UV-C Rays and How can they benefit us?
It is well known that solar radiation, due to UV (ultra-violet) radiation being in the spectrum of solar rays, has an obstructive effect on infection. UV- C radiation destroys the genetic structure of microorganisms and inhibits their ability to replicate thus causing their death. In nature germicidal ultraviolet is a part of the sun’s radiation however, most germicidal radiation (UV-C) does not reach earth. Modern technologies can be used to convert electrical power into germicidal ultraviolet radiation (UV-C Rays) in an efficient manner. These technologies generate UV-C radiation, which can be used to inactivate microorganisms by destroying DNA. UV radiation can be divided into the following three parts: 1) UVA radiation which reaches the surface of the Earth as a part of solar radiation. It causes different photochemical processes, its embrowning effect is perceptible, but does not burn the skin. Its sphere of application is cosmetic industry. UVA radiation permeates through glass.
