<p><span data-contrast="auto">Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is an application widely used in clinical, hospital, pharmaceutical, food industry and water disinfection. The use of UV rays with a wavelength between 200 to 300 nm causes damage to the exposed DNA and RNA chains of the cells of microorganisms, including viruses (Setlow, 1967). These changes cause such damage that the cells are unable to reproduce.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p>
