Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation UVGI

A Primer on UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation)

What is UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation)? Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is electromagnetic radiation that can destroy the ability of microorganisms to reproduce by causing photochemical changes in nucleic acids.  Wavelengths in the UV-C range are especially damaging to cells because they are absorbed by nucleic acids. UV radiation affects the DNA/RNA of pathogens by breaking […]
