The UV light inactivates the harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, effectively preventing them from causing illnesses then destroying the pathogens as they pass through the UV Chamber.
The UVC light kills germs like viruses and bacteria through damaging molecules like nucleic acids and proteins. This makes the germs incapable of performing the processes that it needs to survive.
