Two conditions must be met:◦ Radiation of sufficent energy to alter
chemical bonds must be available◦ Such radiation must be absorbed by the
target molecule or microorganism

DNA and RNA are the two most common forms of nucleid acid, that consists of single or double stranded polymers comprising building blocks called nucleotides.
Purines: Adenine, GuaninePyrimidines: Thymine, Cytosine (DNA), Uracil, Cytosine (RNA)Strong absorbers of UV light.

Source of UV RadiationLow-Pressure Low-intensity UV Lamps :Produce essentially monochromatic UV light at
253.7 nm. UV light is produced by mercury at low vapor pressure.
Low-Pressure High-Intensity UV Lamps :Mercury-indium amalgam is used. Allows 2-4
times greater UV-C output. 25% greater lamp life.
Medium-Pressure High-Intensity UV Lamps :
Mercury vapor emission is carried out at higher lamp pressures and temperatures. Produce polychromatic UV light.

UV Reactor Configuration Open – Channel Disinfection Systems
Lamp placement can be◦ Horizontal◦ Vertical
Closed – Channel Disinfection Systems◦ In most design configurations, the direction of flow is
perpendicular to the placement of the lamps

UV Intensity and UV DoseUV Intensity is a measure of
radiative power per unit of exposed area. The total UV intensity at a point in space is the sum of the intensity of UV light from all directions.
UV Dose is the integral of UV intensity during exposure period.
![Page 19: ULTRAVIOLET (UV) RADIATION DISINFECTION. UV Radiation.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061601/551aab6f550346856e8b4b4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UV Dose
D = I x t
D = UV dose, mWs / cm2
I = UV intensity, mW / cm2
t = Exposure time, s

UV Disinfection Kinetics The measured concentration of microorganisms
before and after exposure provides the response, or log reduction of microorganisms from exposure to UV light.
Log Reduction = log (N0 / N), where,
◦ N0 is the concentration of infectious microorganisms before exposure to UV light
◦ N is the concentration of infectious microorganisms after exposure to UV light.
• UV dose – response relationships can be expressed as either the proportion of microorganisms inactivated (log reduction) or the proportion of microorganisms remaining (log survival) as a function of UV dose.

passing through material over a specified distance.
