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 ultraviolet or UV has a wavelength shorter than that of purple. This
part of the UV radiation is not visible as well.

Most of the UV radiation we get comes through sunlight. Not all UV radiation reaches the earth: a part
is blocked by the ozone layer.
2.7 Risks of UV radiation
Both UVA and UVB can damage cells and genetic material, thus leading to skin cancer. UVB poses
the greater risk here. Even though scientists used to think that UVA was not harmful, newer research
has proven that UVA contributes 10 to 20 percent to the cancer risk.
In order to protect itself against damage to genetic material, the skin tries to thicken itself (after UVB
exposure). Pigment cells create the substance melanin, which gives the skin a brown colour. This
means that when the skin tans, it has already been damaged.
Because the ozone layer is becoming increasingly thinner due to environmental pollution, less UV
radiation is absorbed, thus leading to an increase of skin cancer occurrences.
In addition, the skin can burn under influence of UVA and UVB radiation. Burning is accompanied
by
redness
and in
serious
cases
tremors,
blisters,
nausea
and
fever. In
the long
term the
skin will
lose its
elasticity, suffer from accelerated aging and will remain sensitive for itching, pimples, etc.
Ultraviolet light can damage skin and eyes.
Always wear the UV facial shield and protective clothes.
As a user, never look directly into a switched-on lamp.
Certain types of medication and cosmetics can increase sensitivity.
