Benefits of UVC Light Cleaning
Ultraviolet light, an integral part of the electromagnetic spectrum, varies from 100 to 400 nm in wavelength. Within the same, UVC light encompasses a wavelength of 200 to 280 nm and is particularly effective for disinfection applications. A research conducted by the American Journal of Infection Control that used a liquid culture concluded that UVC light deactivates the coronavirus in a time frame of 9 minutes.
The research confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 can be easily neutralized by UVC, which reflects that UVC is very much effective against this virus. Another study has revealed by AJIC that the use of UVC might bring down live coronaviruses on surfaces to 99.7% in 30 seconds. These results indicate the potential for ultraviolet light in stopping and controlling COVID-19 in both occupied and unoccupied environments.
