UVC Is A Proven Method For Eliminating The Coronavirus

UVC radiation is a known disinfectant for air, water, and nonporous surfaces. UVC radiation has effectively been used for decades to reduce the spread of bacteria. For this reason, UVC lamps are often called "germicidal" lamps. UVC at a specific wavelength, 254 nanometers, has been successfully used to inactivate H1N1 influenza and the previous strain of the coronavirus, including the severe acute respiratory virus (SARS-CoV) and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). Recent studies have confirmed that UVC also eliminates SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 Coronavirus).


How Does UVC Work Againsta Viruses?

The UVC rays target the DNA of the virus. Exposure to the UVC rays causes thymine dimers to form in the DNA. As more thymine dimers are formed, bumps start to appear in the DNA. These cellular mutations negatively affect the replication of the DNA. Eventually, the damage becomes too extensive and the DNA  replication is stopped and the virus dies.
