In the passed years technical applications using UV light had increased rapidly in many fields. The most populare applications are:

• Decontamination of air, surfaces and fluids (UVC light with 253,7nm wavelength damages the DNA of micro-organism)
• Hardening of UV sensitive paintings, coatings and epoxy.
• Production of ozone
• Artificial aging
• Analysis
• Mateial testing
• Flourescent stimulation
• Attractantsl (insects)

• UV-C lampes to reduce sickness in office buildings (english)
• UVC light prevents Tuberculosis transmission (english)
• MRSA conterminated rooms disinfected with UV-C light (english)
• UV light eliminates pathogenes in hospitals (english)
• UVC against EBOLA, a research of Jose-Luis Sagripanti and C. David Lytle (english)

• Decontamination of packing material with UV-C light (deutsch)
• Decontamination of grain with UVC light (english)
• UVC decontamination of fruits and vegitable (english)
