What does UVC stand for?

Ultraviolet C (UVC) ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths between 200 and 290 nm; all of this type of radiation is filtered out by the ozone layer so that none reaches the earth's surface. Ultraviolet C is germicidal and is also used in ultraviolet phototherapy.

Is UVC harmful to humans?

UVC radiation can cause severe burns (of the skin) and eye injuries (photokeratitis). Avoid direct skin exposure to UVC radiation and never look directly into a UVC light source, even briefly. If customers identify a problem with a UVC lamp, they can report it to the manufacturer and the FDA.

In which areas are UVC rays used?

UVC rays are generally used for disinfection and sterilization.

Are UVC rays effective against viruses?

UVC light is the type of UV light that’s most effective at killing germs. It can be used to disinfect surfaces, air, and liquids.

UVC light kills germs like viruses and bacteria through damaging molecules like nucleic acids and proteins. This makes the germ incapable of performing the processes that it needs to survive. It has been proven as a result of research that UVC rays are extremely effective in killing bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Are UVC rays effective against coronavirus?

In the coronavirus (Covid-19) infected pneumonia treatment scheme, it is stated that the coronavirus is sensitive to ultraviolet light and heat, and most disinfectants can effectively inactivate the virus. UV light has been used as a means to kill germs like bacteria and viruses. You may have also heard of its use for killing SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Coronavirus is a type of membrane RNA virus. When UV-C rays with a wavelength of 254 nanometers come into direct contact with microorganisms, they damage their DNA through “photooxidation”. All cell activities, including reproduction, of the living thing whose DNA and RNA are destroyed, cease and cell death occurs.

Why should I use products/robots that use UVC rays?

Sterilization and disinfection with products/robots using UV-C rays has many advantages over other known methods. It destroys all types of microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungus and mold spores, etc.) without discrimination.

It has a wide application area in air, surface and water disinfection, food, chemistry, education and many other sectors.

UVC systems do not have emissions like smoke.

UVC systems do not use chemicals.

It does not require adjustment as it is designed according to the determined dosage. Its effect starts immediately and it always works at the maximum level.

Disinfection with UVC is a method with low investment and operating costs.

What is ozone?

Ozone is a compound consisting of three oxygen atoms. It is a high-energy-carrying form of diatomaceous normal atmospheric oxygen.

Is sterilization possible with ozone?

it is an extremely effective disinfectant against bacteria and viruses. ... Ozone kills bacteria about 3 200 times faster than chlorine. While sterilizing with ozone, every place where the air enters is disinfected. All bacteria and viruses are effectively killed. Due to the pungent smell of ozone, it is sufficient to ventilate for 30 minutes after sterilization. When UVC and ozone are used together, the most effective sterilization and disinfection is achieved.
