2. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal...

   A low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge tube floods the inside of a biosafety cabinet with shortwave UV light when not in use, killing microbes on irradiated surfaces. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection technique employing ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C (180–280 nm), to kill or inactivate microorganisms.

3. Germicidal lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germicidal_lamp

   Germicidal lamp. A 9W germicidal lamp in a modern compact fluorescent lamp form factor. Glow of a germicidal lamp excited by a high voltage probe. Close-up of the electrodes and the safety warning. A germicidal lamp (also known as disinfection lamp or sterilizer lamp) is an electric light that produces ultraviolet C (UVC) light.

4. Far-UVC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-UVC

   Far-UVC is a type of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation being studied and commercially developed for its combination of pathogen inactivation properties and reduced negative effects on human health when used within exposure guidelines. [1][2][3][4] Far-UVC (200-235 nm), while part of the broader UV-C spectrum (100-280 nm), is distinguished by ...

   There are different types of UV light. There are various kinds of UV light, all originating from the sun (or from UV light-emitting devices.). Only one type of UV light is likely to be effective ...

6. Air purifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_purifier

   For example, forced air systems by design impede line-of-sight, thus creating areas of the environment that will be shaded from the UV light. However, a UV lamp placed at the coils and drain pan of the cooling system will keep micro-organisms from forming in these naturally damp places. The most effective method for treating the air rather than ...
