uvared
Uvared is a term used in discussions of ultraviolet (UV) radiation technologies to describe two related concepts: UV-based sensing and UV-assisted redox processes. The term is not tied to a single standardized device, but rather to a family of ideas about using UV light for measurement, analysis, and environmental treatment.
Uvared-based sensors typically involve a UV-responsive material or photodiode array that produces an electrical signal proportional
In UV-assisted redox applications, UV irradiation initiates chemical reactions in which pollutants are oxidized or degraded.
Development of Uvared concepts has occurred in both academic and industry settings, without a universal standard.
Because UV exposure can pose health risks, Uvared devices emphasize calibration, spectral response validation, and safety
