UVsäteilydesinfektio
UVsäteilydesinfektio, also known as UV disinfection, is a process that uses ultraviolet light to inactivate microorganisms. This method relies on the germicidal properties of UV-C radiation, a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light that is particularly effective at damaging the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. When microorganisms are exposed to UV-C light, the UV photons are absorbed by their genetic material, causing damage that prevents them from replicating and causing infection.
The primary application of UV disinfection is in water purification. It is widely used in municipal water
However, UV disinfection is a physical process and its effectiveness can be influenced by several factors.
