2.6 UV radiation
Ultraviolet radiation (or UV) is a proven process to disinfect water, air and solid surfaces
which have been contaminated with micro-organisms. In addition to this, UV radiation is
well-known for its application as a catalyst in drying processes. The effects of UV as a
disinfectant have been extensively documented in scientific research.
UV radiation is a mixture of radiation of various wavelengths. In a rainbow, the visible part of
the UV radiation is ordered according to the length of the waves. Progressing from purple to
red, the waves become increasingly longer. The ultraviolet or UV has a wavelength shorter
than that of purple. This part of the UV radiation is not visible as well.
