There are several enjoyable summer activities for everyone. There’s beach volleyball, swimming, and sunbathing, just to name a few. Although many are willing to sport that red lobster glow, sun damage can cause problems not only for the skin but also in the overall health of vacationers. Many of us have heard of Ultraviolet rays that come from the sun. Let’s delve further to understand what it really means. Ultraviolet light or UV light is considered a form of radiation and typically has shorter wavelengths. There are wavelengths that we identify as violet. UV light belongs to frequencies higher than the ones we call violet, thus the name ultraviolet. This light is invisible to the human eye. There are three types: UV-A are long waves, UV-B are medium waves, and UV-C are short waves that have 254 nanometers. UV-C light is commonly present in heating, furnace, and air conditioning. It is also used to kill food industry commercial and household pests. Dust mites which reside in sheets and in the bed itself can be killed or disinfected through the use of air ventilation purification systems. These microorganisms are culprits for allergic reactions and other skin diseases on the human inhabitants. To reduce the population of dust mites, a UV lamp filtration system can be utilized. Other pathogen levels are also reduced to a significant clinical level. Even the dreaded H5N1 bird flu or Swine Flu is successfully eradicated.
