214nm

214nm light falls into the ultraviolet (UV-C) range and due to its germicidal properties, its applications primarily focus on disinfection and sterilization. Here are some specific examples:

  • Water disinfection: UV-C light, including 214nm, is a common method for disinfecting drinking water and wastewater. It effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA.
  • Surface sterilization: UV-C light can be used to sterilize surfaces in hospitals, laboratories, food processing facilities, and other environments where hygiene is critical. Handheld UV sterilizers can be used for targeted disinfection of tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Air purification: Air purifiers with UV-C light can inactivate airborne bacteria and viruses, helping to improve indoor air quality.
  • Research laboratories: UV-C light is used in research labs to sterilize equipment and prevent contamination of cell cultures and other biological samples.

It's important to note that 214nm UV-C light can also be harmful to human skin and eyes. Therefore, safety precautions are crucial when using UV-C germicidal lamps. These include:

  • Not being in the same room while the lamp is on
  • Wearing protective eyewear and clothing when necessary
  • Following manufacturer's instructions for safe use and disposal
