Germicidal Ultraviolet Lights – How They Work
Shortwave UV Light (UV-C) is called germicidal because it is used in microbial control. It deactivates the DNA of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing pathogens, making it impossible for them to multiply. UV-C light destroys the nucleic acid of microbes by creating covalent bonds between close DNA bases. This makes replication impossible. The inability to replicate leads to the death of the affected organism. The degree of the effectiveness of the exposure depends on the duration and the intensity of the exposure.
