With consumers raising awareness on cleanliness, UV sterilization devices are a fast-growing and invaluable option for disinfection. Discovered to be a useful technology for cleaning infectious spaces, more studies were done to determine the exact beneficial nature of UV for sterilization purposes. UV light is a shorter wavelength than visible light and is able to penetrate and destroy the bodies of viruses and bacteria.
The use of UV sterilization has been found to be extremely effective. Sources of UV sterilization can kill over 99% of viruses, bacteria, and fungi in an extremely short amount of time. Due to this effectiveness, various types of UV treatments and specialized UV devices for sterilization have been developed.
Currently, there are quite a few gadgets that utilize ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria and viruses directly or minimize the chance you’ll get into contact with a contaminated item.
But since UV rays & germs are invisible to the human eye, how can you ensure these devices actually work?
