HOW DO GERMICIDAL UV-C RAYS WORK?

UV-C rays (100-280 nm) have a strong germicidal effect and reach their maximum efficacy at the 275 nm wavelength. The germicidal effect of UV-C radiation covers bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, moulds and mites; this is mainly due to the destructive effect of the UV-C rays on their DNA, which damage their reproductive system and prevent them from replicating.
