Are Ultraviolet Lamps Really Good As Disinfectants?
Posted by China Sourcing CommentatorFeb 28
I wish to keep my house totally disinfected, free from any small germs. I have heard that switching on ultraviolet lamps (when I would not be in the house) will clean my house of all germs. I have also seen these things in hospital operating rooms, etc. Are these things really, really effective?

yes,
but if you make your home totally germ free you will get sick every time you go out side,
your body has to have some germs to keep you healthy
i have to agree somewhat, your immune system only knows to fight back when something invades it. thats just how it works. but theres no sense in living in a moldy TB infested pit either lol. UV is very effective against most all live things like TB, strep, molds etc. the intensity, wavelength and how long its on will determine how much it kills. some things are harder to kill with it though just depends. useful thing to have around if you want, sunlight is hard to beat though. UV is used for many types of decontamination yes but is not effective for every thing.
