Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation handbook: UVGI for air and surface disinfection
Kowalski, W.
This book is a comprehensive source for technical information regarding ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) and its application to air and surface disinfection and the control of pathogens and allergens. The primary focus is onairborne microbes and surface contamination applications. Water-based applications are not addressed here except incidentally as they relate to air and surface microbes, but adequate texts on water-based UV disinfection are available. All aspects of UVGI systems, including design methods, modeling, safety, installation, guidelines, and disinfection theory are addressed in sufficient detail that no additional texts need be consulted. Providing this information in one single source simplifies the design and installation of UVGI systems, helpguarantee effective performance of new systems, and facilitate their use on awide scale for the purpose of improving human health. Only monography in thisfield INDICE: The History of UVGI.- UVGI Equipment.- Theory of UV Disinfection.-Mathematical Modeling of UVGI Disinfection.- UVGI Rate Constants.- UVGI Modeling.- Combined UVGI and Filtration.- UVGI Design Guides.- UVGI Effects on Compounds.- UVGI Economics.- Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO).- Pulsed UV Light.- UVGI Safety.- UVGI Testing.-UVGI Guidelines and Standards.- Testing and Commissioning.- UVGI Applications.- UVGI Remediation.- UVGI and Disease Control.
