چکیده
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) can be caused by microorganisms present in common practice instruments generating major health problems the hospital environment. The aim of this work was to utilize disinfection capacity a portable ultraviolet C equipment (UV Sanitizer Box and UV-C Sterilization Torch) developed disinfect different objects. Pollution macro micro environment has concerns for decades recent times consequences have been subjected agreed international protocols, aimed at reducing pollution. As conclusion, Torch effective disinfecting most contaminated surfaces, being promising alternative materials inanimate objects that cannot immersed liquid biocides, risk pathogen transmission.

Surface disinfection by exposure to germicidal UV light.
The present study was aimed to design a simple model to check efficacy of germicidal UV tube, to standardise the position, distance and time for UV light and also to find out its efficacy against medically important bacteria, the bacterial spores and fungi. The microbial cultures tested included gram positive and gram negative bacteria, bacterial spores and fungal spores. The microbes streaked ...
متن کاملSterilization effect of UV light on Bacillus spores using TiO(2) films depends on wavelength.
UV light and photocatalysts such as titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) and silver (Ag) are useful for disinfection of water and surfaces. However, the effect of UV wavelength on photocatalytic disinfection of spores is not well understood. Inactivation of Bacillus spores has been examined using different UV wavelengths and TiO(2) or TiO(2)/Ag composite materials. The level of UVA disinfection of Bacillu...
متن کاملGermicidal Efficacy and Mammalian Skin Safety of 222-nm UV Light.
We have previously shown that 207-nm ultraviolet (UV) light has similar antimicrobial properties as typical germicidal UV light (254 nm), but without inducing mammalian skin damage. The biophysical rationale is based on the limited penetration distance of 207-nm light in biological samples (e.g. stratum corneum) compared with that of 254-nm light. Here we extended our previous studies to 222-nm...
متن کاملPossibilities of Using the Germicidal Effect of Uv-c Light for Disinfecting the Water Used in Food Industry
Drinking water, like every other substance, contains small amounts of bacteria. Thus, chlorine is usually added to drinking water to prevent bacterial growth. Since minimal remnant amounts of chlorine are found in drinking water, new sterilization alternatives were developed over time. Due to its germicidal effectiveness, UV-C light became an alternative to chemicals. Nowadays, UV-C light is of...
متن کاملNon-UV germicidal activity of fresh TiO2 and Ag/TiO2.
Fresh TiO2 was found to possess a strong germicidal activity even without UV irradiation. Live Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells in contact with fresh TiO2 were found deformed and dead after 15 min contact. The cause of germicidal activity was discussed from the observed cell deformation, lysis and increased absorption at 1680 cm(-1) in FT-IR spectra of the affected cells, which proved the...
