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 infrared, with a wavelength
longer than that of red, is not visible but can be felt as (solar) heat. The ultraviolet or UV
has a wavelength shorter than that of purple. This part of the UV radiation is not visible as
well.
