What is UV-C and why is it so effective at destroying germs like bacteria, viruses, and mold?

UV-C is part of the ultraviolet light spectrum that is filtered out by the earth’s atmosphere. The “C” stands for the particular frequency of UV light that kills germs, (200nm to 280nm). UV-C light is highly effective at killing microorganisms. Hospitals use UV-C light to sanitize surfaces.
