WHAT IS THE ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT?

Ultraviolet light (UV) is a form of invisible light for the human eye. It occupies the part of the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light. The sun emits ultraviolet light but most of it is absorbed by the Earth’s ozone layer.

UVC AND UVV RAYS

The UVC (254nm) and UVV (185nm) light produced by Sanuvox UV systems are the same two wavelengths produced by the Sun. The UVC wavelength attacks the micro-organisms on a molecular level deactivating and destroying the contaminants, while the UVV wavelength degrades chemicals and odors.

It is scientifically proven that viruses, like SARS-CoV-2, are deactivated by UVC. Several studies have been published to support this:

• SARS-CoV-2 UV Dose-Response Behavior
• UVC Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2
• Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 with UVGI
• Susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 to UV Irradiation
• UV Disinfection SARS-CoV-2 in CT Machine
