When winter chill strikes, people stay indoors more often, giving airborne pathogens — such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza — prime opportunities to spread. Germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) lamps can help ...
It is the short-wavelength light emitted from the sun which splits into UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. UV-C is the shortest one which has the germicidal effect. UV-C is good in breaking molecular bonds, altering ...

An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link Hospitals have embraced ultraviolet (UV) lights as a cleaning tool for years, using large, industrial-grade machines to decontaminate rooms. Now, ...
LEDs emitting light in the range of 200 nm to 400 nm are classified as UV LEDs. Within this range, there are three bands, UV-A with wavelengths from 300 nm to 400 nm, UV-B with wavelengths between 280 ...
NEW YORK, June 9 (UPI) --Researchers have known for some time that ultraviolet light kills bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, though a recent study found a UV ...
