During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many questions about the proper use of germicidal ultraviolet light (UV-C) energy for surface and air inactivation. Dean Saputa, VP of UV Resources, was recently interviewed by HPAC Engineering Magazine editor Rob McManamy on his role in helping...
UV-C light in the 253.7nm wavelength (most common germicidal range) does not produce ozone. Most germicidal lamps, including those from UV Resources, are produced with doped quartz glass, which blocks the transmission of the 185nm ozone-producing wavelength....
Knowledge of UV-C goes back well over 100 years, having gone through various phases of development. Here are some pivotal points in the century-long history of the various applications of UV-C. ...
