It has been demonstrated that many microorganisms can be inactivated by continuous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation is absorbed by DNA and RNA, causing changes in their structures and preventing their replication. The radiation dose required to achieve a microbial load reduction depends not only on the particular microorganism, but also on additional factors like radiation intensity (power) of the emitting source, distance between emitting source and surface, and time of exposure. Furthermore, surfaces that only receive radiation by reflection, get lower doses that may not be sufficient to incativate the pathogenic microorganisms present. Considering all this, it is of utmost importance to control that all surfaces to be disinfected, receive the minimum radiation dose required.
