2. Germicidal lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germicidal_lamp

   A germicidal lamp (also known as disinfection lamp or sterilizer lamp) is an electric light that produces ultraviolet C (UVC) light. This short-wave ultraviolet light disrupts DNA base pairing , causing formation of pyrimidine dimers , and leads to the inactivation of bacteria , viruses , and protozoans .

3. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

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

   A UVGI system is designed to expose environments such as water tanks, rooms and forced air systems to germicidal UV. Exposure comes from germicidal lamps that emit germicidal UV at the correct wavelength, thus irradiating the environment. The forced flow of air or water through this environment ensures exposure of that air or water.

4. Far-UVC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-UVC

   Unlike conventional germicidal UV-C lamps, which are limited to upper-room (above people's heads [8]) pathogen inactivation or use in unoccupied spaces due to their negative effects on human skin and eyes, far-UVC is considered promising for whole-room pathogen inactivation due to its enhanced safety. This allows for the installation of far-UVC ...

5. Air purifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_purifier

   Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - UVGI can be used to sterilize air that passes UV lamps via forced air. [21] Air purification UVGI systems can be freestanding units with shielded UV lamps that use a fan to force air past the UV light.

6. Blacklight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight

   A blacklight, also called a UV-A light, Wood's lamp, or ultraviolet light, is a lamp that emits long-wave ultraviolet light and very little visible light. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] One type of lamp has a violet filter material, either on the bulb or in a separate glass filter in the lamp housing, which blocks most visible light and allows through UV ...
