Ultraviolet/UV germicidal lamps include mercury, LED, xenon and electrodeless types. UV disrupts microbial DNA/RNA to kill cells or progeny, serving air, water and surfaces. Pathogens thrive in dark, damp, crowded, poorly ventilated places, so lamps are used in homes, public and medical settings. Testing standards, quality requirements and evaluation are covered. Germicidal lamps emit280nm-100nm; 253.7nm is most germicidal for water, air and clothing. Low-pressure mercury lamps at 15W, 20W, 30W and 40W are compared with summer sunlight; low power slow sterilization and cause bacterial antibodies. At220V they are mainly for personnel disinfection in changing, veterinary and laboratory rooms. About5min irradiation kills clothing-borne bacteria/viruses; about 30min disinfects laboratory/operating-room air. Mercury lamps include high, medium and low pressure; low pressure predominates in disinfection owing to mercury's environmental harm. National-standard average life is8000hours; some reach13000. Alternatives include UVLED(20000hours average), xenon(100000flashes) and electrodeless(theoretically unlimited life), with higher power/faster disinfection but higher cost, for large-space air, water treatment and food processing.
(1)Surface sterilization: Used in food, electronics, semiconductors, LCDs, plasma TVs, crystal resonators, precision devices, chemicals, medicine, healthcare, biology, beverages and agriculture. UV rapidly sterilizes food/material surfaces without contamination, maintaining quality. It supports continuous/batch processing, simple operation and no secondary pollution. (2)Water treatment: Immersion places lamps directly in water; flow-through uses lamps inside sleeves. Flow-through is predominant: Pumped water passes around UV-transmitting quartz sleeves and is disinfected by the lamp. Contact time is usually≤1s, requiring high UV intensity, generally surface intensity>30000uw/cm2. (3)Medical hygiene: Hospitals have used UV air sterilization for decades. Direct static irradiation cannot disinfect shadowed areas and requires people to leave. Dynamic circulating-air units overcome both by disinfecting air inside the unit and recirculating room air. Many use indoor-air-conditioner-style housings. Products now include sterilizing air conditioners and purifiers, expanding from hospitals into homes, offices and public places. Functions extend from sterilization to health protection and prevention.
