UV-C Light and Ozone Disinfection
Most Effective and Chemical Free Methods to Prevent the Spread
of Viruses and Bacteria
EVS PRO Offers UV-C Light Disinfection and Ozone Disinfection Services to Help Reduce the Spread of Viruses and Bacteria at the Workplace .We realize how important it is to maintain good hygiene and know how critical clean and safe environment is to the operations of your business.
The likelihood of the spread of bacteria and viruses is significantly decreased thanks in large part to cleaning services.
The ability of broad-spectrum germicidal UV-C light to kill bacteria and viruses by rupturing the bonds holding their DNA together has been well understood by scientists for many years. In order to stop bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens from reproducing and spreading disease, it deactivates the DNA inside of them. In these microbes, the UV-C radiation particularly damages the nucleic acids, causing covalent bonds to develop that inhibit DNA from unzipping for reproduction. The virus or bacteria dies when it tries to reproduce itself.

The letters “UV” relate to the magnetic wavelength spectrum known as ultraviolet light. UVC is the non-visible wavelength that is the most germicidal.
Ultraviolet light technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection, that uses UV-C light to destroy microorganisms, including bacteria, virus, protist, and fungus/mold. Ultraviolet disinfection attacks the DNA/RNA of a cell, rendering it unable to reproduce or spread.
Most importantly, UV-C Light disinfection method can help you gain the upper hand in the germs battle by focusing your efforts on those high-touch surfaces that are germ hotspots.
BENEFITS OF USING UV-C LIGHT FOR DISINFECTION
Traditional disinfection methods have been used for centuries – but are they good enough? The truth is that even the most rigorous cleaning with hot water, bleach, and disinfectants can miss harmful germs and bacteria.
On the other hand, UV-C light disinfection uses ultraviolet technology to kill all germs and bacteria more quickly and is a great supplement for other methods.
BENEFIT #1: UV-C LIGHT DISINFECTION IS NON-TOXIC
Arguably, the most important benefit of UV-C light disinfection is that it’s non-toxic. Unlike harsh chemicals that are sometimes used in cleaning and sanitization products, UV light is environmentally friendly. UV-C light disinfection is a physical process, not a chemical one.
UV-C light disinfection is safe for use on food as well as food prep services and non-food items. While human beings can be harmed by excessive UV exposure, proper protection makes this a safe and non-toxic disinfection method for many industries including restaurants, hospitality, healthcare and more.
BENEFIT #2: UV-C LIGHT DISINFECTION IS AN EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FORM OF DISINFECTION
The next key benefit of disinfecting with UV-C light is that this method of disinfection can be far more effective than other methods. UV-C light kills a wide array of harmful organisms.
For example, did you know that UV-C light destroys viruses, bacteria, molds and spores? Other disinfection methods may not – or they may leave a damp environment where fungi can thrive. Since UV-C disinfection is a dry method, you can be sure that it will take care of existing mold and prevent its growth in the future.
BENEFIT #3: UV-C LIGHT DISINFECTION KILLS PATHOGENS WITHOUT IMMUNITY
If you have followed the news about antibiotic-resistant bacteria, you know that the use of some traditional antimicrobial agents and disinfectants has had dire consequences. The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a significant problem in the medical community.
Unlike traditional disinfection methods, UV-C light disinfection is a physical method for killing viruses and bacteria. Therefore, bacteria in question cannot build immunity to it. That’s a huge plus for many industries including hospitals and assisted living facilities.
BENEFIT #4: UV-C LIGHT DISINFECTION IS SAFE
One of the most common questions we get about UV-C light disinfection is, “Is it safe to use?” People tend to associate UV-C exposure with risks such as sunburn, but the key thing to understand is that UV-C light is safe if used properly.
The UV-C Light devises we use have safety systems built in to ensure the product will only turn on when the room is unoccupied. UV-C light is less likely to cause harm than the harsh chemicals in cleaning products if the operator take appropriate precautions.
