Ultraviolet Light Disinfection Data Sheet

UV has been used for disinfection since the mid-20th century, with beginnings even earlier when sunlight was investigated for bactericidal effects in the mid-19th century.

Within research facilities, UV has been an option when purchasing biological safety cabinets for years, and can also be used within ductwork.
