| Ultraviolet Light |
| The human eye is sensitive to specific band of electromagnetic waves, known as the visible light spectrum. At one end of this very narrow spectrum there are some wavelengths which are invisible to the naked eye. UV light, for instance, is considered a non-visible light due to its short wavelength, from 100 to 400Nm (nanometers). Although we may not see them, UV lights play an important role in our routines, from medical treatments to disinfection and even horticulture. |

| How Does Disinfection Work? |
| As evident by multiple research studies and reports, when biological organisms are exposed to deep UV light in the range of 200 nm to 300 nm it is absorbed by DNA,RNA,and proteins. Absorption by proteins can lead to rupture of cell walls and death of the organism. Absorption by DNA or RNA (specifically by thymine bases) is known to cause inactivation of the DNA or RNA double helix strands through the formation of thymine dimers. If enough of these dimers are created in DNA, the DNA replication process is disrupted, and the cell cannot replicate. |

| Cells That Cannot Replicate, Cannot Infect |
 |
| It is widely accepted that it is not necessary to kill pathogens with UV light, but rather apply enough UV light to prevent the organism from replicating.The UV doses required to prevent replication are orders of magnitude lower than required to kill,making the cost of UV treatment to prevent infection commercially viable. |
