Ultraviolet light is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that falls in between the X Ray and Visible light. It is classified into various divisions namely: Vacuum UV, Far UV, UVC, UVB, and UVA with respect to their wavelengths. It can break down matter into tiny particles. Once in contact with these organisms (germs), it breaks down their DNA that eventually kills them.

Sources of UV light
The main natural source is the sun. Other sources that are artificial include: curing lambs, halogen lights, mercury vapor lambs, fluorescent sources among others.

They are mainly fixed at specific positions inside your homes, for example, inside the ducts, room heaters especially indoor coils, or that air conditioner.
