05 May Everything you may not know about UV light
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic energy produced naturally by the sun. The UV spectrum of light is just below visible light and is divided into four different spectral regions – vacuum UV or UVV (100 to 200 nm), UVC (200 to 280 nm), UVB (280 to 315 nm) and UVA (315 to 400 nm) ).
Each of these spectral areas has different effects on humans and other living organisms. Thus, the light from the UVA spectrum will darken your skin, the UVB spectrum will create redness on your skin while genetic material is destroyed when exposed to the UVC spectrum. Fortunately, UVC rays do not reach us because they are filtered out of the Earth’s atmosphere, explains Juan Leon, a virologist who focuses on environmental health at Emory University.
The complete UV spectrum can kill or inactivate many types of microorganisms, preventing their reproduction. The energy of the UVC spectrum at 253.7 nm provides the best germicidal effect. The use of UVC energy to inactivate microorganisms is also known as germicidal radiation or UVGI.
Taking into account the current pandemic situation, living, working and general activities in rooms without microorganisms has become very important and necessary for the further continuation of recovery and overcoming this situation.
Ultraviolet exposure of bacteria, viruses, fungi and mold destroys microorganisms by altering the structure and molecular bonds of their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Because microorganisms are simple organic structures that easily absorb the wavelength of UV-C, causing photo-dissociation (destruction). DNA is the “blue print” that these organisms use to develop, function, and reproduce. By destroying the organism’s ability to reproduce, it becomes harmless because it cannot colonize. After exposure to UVC, the organism dies leaving no progeny, and the population of microorganisms decreases rapidly.
Ultraviolet (UV-C) lamps and lamps provide a much more powerful and concentrated effect of ultraviolet energy than can be found in nature. Therefore, this method of removing microorganisms is an extremely effective method of protection against microorganisms. Telemax d.o.o. has been working with renowned European LED lighting manufacturers for several years. Taking into account the current situation, our partners have decided to react in such a way that they start with the more extensive production and distribution of UV-C lamps. Telemax d.o.o. As an exclusive partner of European manufacturers, there are currently several different types of UV-C lamps on offer.
