How does germicidal UV kill viruses?
Germicidal UV products can actually change the DNA and RNA of bacteria and viruses, destroying their ability to reproduce.
Most UV- products can inactivate up to 99.9% of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and fungus. Viruses are not technically living organisms, so germicidal UV technically "inactivates" viruses.
Since COVID-19 can live on certain surfaces for up to three days and can travel
through the air, germicidal UV is a great tool to disinfect air and surfaces.
