UVdesinfektio
UVdesinfektio, also known as ultraviolet disinfection, is a method of sterilization that uses ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms. This process relies on the germicidal properties of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, specifically within the UV-C spectrum, which ranges from approximately 200 to 280 nanometers. When microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, are exposed to UV-C light, the radiation damages their genetic material (DNA and RNA). This damage prevents them from replicating and performing essential cellular functions, rendering them harmless or causing their death.
The effectiveness of UVdesinfektio depends on several factors, including the intensity of the UV light, the
UVdesinfektio is commonly employed in various applications, including the disinfection of drinking water, wastewater, swimming pool
