(100 to 280 nanometer wavelength) very readily affected by ozone levels. Very little UVC radiation reaches the earth’s surface.
UVC is that part of the UV spectrum between 100 and 280 nanometers. UVC is sometime referred to as germicidal radiation as it can kill microorganisms, including bacteria. The only sources of UVC on earth are artificial as the UVC originating from the sun is completely absorbed by the stratosphere, ozone and atmospheric gases. Few people are ever exposed to UVC.
Not visible to the naked eye, used in sterilizers and kills bacteria, extremely dangerous and can cause damage to DNA
Ultraviolet Radiation Band "C". Often given as 200 to 280 nm (nanometers).
Ultraviolet to Visible Converter
Ultraviolet cosmic rays that do not penetrate the earth’s atmosphere.
This form of UV radiation cannot penetrate to the surface of the earth.
The ultraviolet light frequency that causes burning of the skin. Tanning bed lamps filter out all UVC rays as they are dangerous to humans. UVC lamps are used for water purification and sterilization of equipment.
Ultraviolet radiation, usually defined to be in the range from 200 to 280 nm.
The non-visible range. Used to kill bacteria.
