ABSTRACT

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) can be initiated by microorganisms existing in common practice instruments producing major health diseases in the hospital environment. This work aimed to utilize the disinfection capacity of portable ultraviolet C equipment (UV Sanitizer Box and UV-C Sterilization Torch) developed to disinfect different objects. Pollution of the macro and microenvironment has been a source of worry for decades, and in recent years, the macro repercussions have been subjected to agreed-upon international standards aimed at reducing pollution. Furthermore, there are now national and international restrictions in place to limit the existence of microorganisms, particularly those that impact human, animal, and avian health in the environment and food chain. As a result of this concern, pollution reduction has become an industry, encompassing areas such as modifying technologies to minimize primary and secondary pollutants, as well as chemical, biological, and physical cleaning. Purification using ultraviolet (UV) C light (UV-C) is one of these approaches, and it has the advantage of being both efficient and, perhaps, the most energy-efficient technology. In conclusion, UV-C Sanitizer Box and UV-C Sterilization Torch were e?ective disinfecting the most contaminated surfaces, being a promising alternative for disinfecting hospital materials and inanimate objects that cannot be immersed in liquid biocides, reducing the risk of pathogen transmission.
