Is UV-C light safe?

Some UV exposure is essential for good health. It stimulates vitamin D production in the body. In medical practice, one example is UV lamps that can be used for treating psoriasis.Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated with different types of skin cancer, sunburn, accelerated skin aging, as well as cataracts, and other eye diseases. The severity of the effect depends on the wavelength, intensity, and duration of exposure.

If not used or implemented properly, direct exposure to germicidal UV light can have damaging effects on both materials and people. Overexposure to UV-C lighting can harm humans in a variety of ways. It can also cause damage to materials, such as the erosion of rubber gaskets or plastics. It is because of these potential negative effects of UV-C disinfection lighting that it is vital that appropriate products are used in the various applications in which they can provide benefits.

Only with the autonomous UVD Robots® can you be sure to have irradiated sufficient UV-C amounts onto all surfaces within a given area.

Our UVD Robot® disinfects small and large areas simply just by driving by. Depending on the exposure time, The UVD Robot can kill up to 99.999% of pathogens such as MRSA, C. dif, and CPR/CRA. It disinfects all environments that are potentially harbouring dangerous microorganisms.

The UV-C light is highly effective against most types of bacteria and viruses, and when used correctly, can also be gentle to surfaces.
