The Ultraviolet Radiation: Disinfection and Stimulation Processes

The manuscript presented some of the applied aspects of UV-C radiation as bactericidal as stimulating effect. The bactericidal effect of UV-C radiation is shown by the example of water disinfection. The experimental installation for bactericidal disinfection of drinking water with mercury arc lamp which has a detrimental effect on bacteria viruses and other microorganisms was proposed. In order to effectively ensure the microbiological purity of various medical drugs UV-C irradiation method which leads to chemical changes of molecules and has a wide range of effects on microorganisms including bacteria viruses fungi etc. d. was presented. Finally the stimulating effect of UV-C irradiation and the possibility of its use in pre-sowing preparation of seeds of various crops were demonstrated. For each of the studied seed crops the optimal radiation doses lead to the maximum result are indicated.
