  • 6-Corona?: Human visible light ranges from 380–700 nanometres (1 nm is a billionth part of a metre). UV radiation covers a wavelength range of 100-400 nm. UV is divided into three bands: UV-C (100-280 nm), UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-A (315-400 nm). UV-A and UV-B rays from the Sun are transmitted through the atmosphere while UV-C is filtered by the ozone layer. UV-B rays can only reach the outer layer of our skin, can cause sunburn, and are also associated with skin cancer. UV-A rays can penetrate the middle layer of the skin and can cause ageing of cells and indirect damage to cells’ DNA. UV-C radiation from man-made sources has been known to cause skin burns and eye injuries. UV-C radiation (wavelength around 254 nm) has been used for decades to disinfect the air in hospitals, laboratories, and water treatment. But these are usually done in unoccupied rooms as they can cause health problems. IIT-Kanpur, who developed a portable disinfectant device that used UV-C radiation (222-254 nm), noted that the device was specifically developed to disinfect non-living things. UV-C radiation used in this device could be harmful to the skin and eyes of the living beings। [अल्ट्रावायलेट किरणों की मदद से विषाणुओं को मारने की नई मशीन ईजाद की है IIT कानपुर ने]
