The Bay City Department of Water and Sewer is transitioning from chlorine to UV light for water sanitation to address rising ...

Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection reactors employ UV light to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms by damaging their nucleic acids, thereby preventing replication. The growing application of ...

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have rapidly evolved as a promising alternative to conventional mercury-based UV lamps in water disinfection systems. Their compact size, reduced energy ...

Scientists demonstrate the first direct germicidal effect with an ultraviolet LED source. A US collaboration has reduced levels of E.coli. bacteria in water by over five orders of magnitude using 280 ...

The use of UV light as a method to sterilize areas and reduce the transmission of pathogens was first proposed in 1878 by Arthur Downes and Thomas P. Blunt. Soon after, the first recorded use of UV ...

Researchers are developing ultraviolet LEDs that have the ability to decontaminate surfaces -- and potentially air and water -- that have come in contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As COVID-19 ...

BIO-UV Group has completed the first commercial deployment of its containerised BIO-SEA ballast water treatment system (BWTS) ...

Swift's space-based telescope could spot the faint ultraviolet glow that ground observatories can't see—because, high above Earth's atmosphere, it captures light that never reaches Earth's surface.
