Ultra-violet (UV) radiation is an effective non-contact disinfection method, killing microbes, bacteria, and viruses, including COVID-19, on most surfaces, in water, and in the air. The short wavelength, high energy photons disrupt the RNA/DNA in the cellular structure of microbes and also create free radicals which damage the genomes of viruses, introducing defects that rapidly kill the pathogen. It is this disrupting and oxidizing effect that makes UV disinfection so effective and usefu...
