UV light sterilizers are devices that use ultraviolet (UV) light to kill or inactivate harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. They work by emitting UV-C light, which damages the DNA or RNA of these pathogens, preventing them from replicating and causing infections. These sterilizers are commonly used in hospitals, laboratories, and homes to disinfect surfaces, air, and water. The effectiveness of UV light sterilizers depends on factors like exposure time, distance from the surface, and the intensity of the UV light. They are considered a chemical-free method of sterilization, making them an environmentally friendly option for maintaining hygiene and safety.
