What is UV-C and how does it kill germs?

Grote's Answer

UV-C is a type of ultraviolet light that has germicidal properties. At wavelengths of between 200 nm and 300 nm, ultraviolet light is readily absorbed by the nucleic acids of bacteria, viruses, molds, and pathogens, damaging their DNA and killing or rendering them incapable of reproduction. Mercury-vapor lamps have been used as a source of disinfectant UV-C light for decades, though these tubes are fragile, contain hazardous mercury, and require relatively frequent replacement.
