Apart from chemical treatment, UVC sterilisation is used to disinfect air and euipment in hospitals, doctor's surgeries and pharmacies as well as in food and pharmaceutical production and in public washrooms. The UVC used is generated by low-pressure Hg lamps, excimer lasers, pulsed Xenon lamps and UV LEDs. The COVID19 pandemic has also raised attention in also disinfecting other areas open to the public which are not yet subject to systematic disinfection such as:
 |

 |
surface disinfection of packages |
