The use of sunlight or UV light to kill bacteria is known, and the use of high-energy UVC has been extended to public health applications, during the COVID-19 pandemic, close attention to personal and sanitation is required to avoid the 'new normal' of infectious diseases Lifestyle makes UVC increasingly important to kill airborne bacteria.

UVC equipment has been used in hospitals and industries to sanitize food and ventilation systems. More recently, these devices have begun to be used in everyday life, and their use is sometimes taken for granted. With the COVID-19 pandemic still looming, sanitizing equipment has become a hot item on everyone's list. As a result, more and more UVC devices are being produced for home use, such as UVC sanitizing lamps that can be used in homes with young children, sick people, people with allergies, or those who require additional cleaning to kill Bacteria in dead air.

Effectiveness of UVC Equipment

Through the Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) process, blue ultraviolet light shines UVC rays on objects suspected of having bacteria. The energy of the rays will penetrate the DNA and RNA of the bacteria, destroying them, preventing them from multiplying, and eventually dying.

Compared with other disinfection methods, the advantages of UVC equipment

The benefits of irradiation are that it doesn't take long, can be used as often as needed, is inexpensive, easy to use, and doesn't damage surfaces or leave any residue, which makes this method better than using alcohol or disinfectants.

Where should UVGI equipment be installed?

Areas suitable for UVGI devices are public areas that hold large numbers of people for extended periods of time, such as hospitals, classrooms, cinemas, auditoriums, sky trains, public restrooms, offices, pantries, or cafeterias. For example, UVC lamps can be installed in HVAC systems.

How to choose the right and safe UVGI device

UVGI emits radiation just like in an oven, so if it's going to be used in a room, the room should have enough space, with no corner blind spots or obstructions, to ensure effective exposure. Also, be sure to choose brands that have passed trusted product standards to ensure they kill 99.9% of germs.
