“…13 UVC irradiation using photons of light from the 100-280 nm region of the electromagnetic spectrum, an effective and non-contact method for inactivating viruses and bacteria, has been widely used for disinfecting food, water supplies, public facilities, and medical instruments. [14][15][16][17] The UVC range shows the strongest antiviral and antibacterial activity among the three applied UV wavelength ranges, including UVA (315-400 nm) and UVB (280-315 nm) ranges. 18 The available scientific literature shows that three UVC range subsets (i.e., 207-222 nm, 19,20 254 nm, 21,22 and 260-280 nm 23,24 ) are considered to be optimal for pathogen disinfection.…”
