UV 살균 조사(UVGI)는 단파장을 이용합니다. 자외선 C(UVC) radiation, typically at 254 nm, to kill or inactivate microorganisms. UVC light disrupts the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, destroying their ability to replicate and cause disease. This non-chemical disinfection method is used for air, water, and surface sterilization.

The germicidal properties of UVC radiation are centered around its ability to be absorbed by the nucleic acids of microorganisms. The peak germicidal effectiveness occurs at a wavelength of approximately 265 nm, which corresponds to the peak absorption wavelength of DNA. Commercially available low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, which are the most common source for UVGI, emit monochromatically at 253.7 nm, which is very close to this peak and highly effective. When a UVC photon is absorbed by a DNA or RNA molecule, it can induce the formation of pyrimidine dimers, most commonly thymine dimers. These dimers are covalent bonds between adjacent pyrimidine bases (thymine or cytosine) on the same DNA strand. This structural damage prevents the DNA from being correctly read during replication or transcription, effectively rendering the microorganism sterile and unable to reproduce. While microorganisms have cellular mechanisms to repair such DNA damage, the high intensity of UVGI overwhelms these repair systems. UVGI is a physical process, not a chemical one, meaning it does not introduce toxins or residues. Its effectiveness depends on the UV dose, which is a product of intensity and exposure time, as well as factors like humidity, temperature, and the microorganism’s susceptibility. Its primary limitation is that it is a line-of-sight technology; UV light cannot disinfect areas in shadow.
