UVC light is radiation with a short wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers. This light is harmful to humans because it destroys skin cells. Fortunately, natural UVC light is completely blocked by our atmosphere. UVC light is very suitable for microbiological disinfection and is also a very clean technology.
UVC light is capable of disinfecting water, air and surfaces. It makes microorganisms harmless in a very effective way, without the use of chemicals. The smell, color and taste do not change, as does the water composition itself. It's actually very simple: micro-organisms are 'killed', even micro-organisms that are resistant to chlorine, antibiotics, or organic biocides.
“UVC light is capable of disinfecting water, air and surfaces. It makes microorganisms harmless in a very effective way, without the use of chemicals.”
Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi naturally absorb UVC light. But when UVC light enters the cell of a microorganism, it breaks the DNA connections in the cell. This molecular change renders the DNA useless for the essential process of transcription (metabolism) and replication (cell division). This renders the microorganism harmless and thus causes it to die.
The UVC technique is over 100 years old and has already proven its effectiveness against water-borne and air-borne pathogenic microorganisms such as those that cause diseases such as Cholera, Hepatitis, Polio, Typhus, Giardia, Cryptosporidium and many other bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases.
