In recent months, as there are many news talking about UVC light working as a new tool for elimination of coronavirus, it seems to us that a new technology is emerging, but nothing could be further from the truth.
According to some historians, the first UV disinfection system was developed in Marseille in 1910 for water treatment. This system, which has been used to until day, forms a part of the process of making water safe for drinking.
Another use of UVC light is for air conditioning systems. It is well known that bacteria can travel through the air, so air conditioners can be a very effective conductor of viruses and bacteria. For this reason, UVC light tubes are incorporated into some of air conditioning systems to sterilize the air that passes through them.
However, UVC light is far more versatile and can be used for multiple purposes. Some places, like operating theaters, are quite sensitive to pathogens. In this type of rooms, we can use germicidal light to disinfect all their surfaces. Apart from it, we can also use UVC light to sterilize medical utensils after each operation.
There are many viruses, bacteria and fungi that have been killed by this century-old technology, but what has made it so famous is the recent research in relation to the elimination of coronavirus.
We are embracing the power of this disinfection system, which proves to be able to stop viral replication and to be completely accessible and compatible to our home, workplaces, leisure places.
