USE OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IN MICROBIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES

Abstract

The results are summarized of a six-year research program which was established because it was desirable first to survey the literature concerning the action and use of UV radiation, and second, to determineexperimentally the susceptibility of various types of microorganisms when exposed to radiation under conditions that might be found in the infectious disease laboratory. finally it was planned to use the assembled data as a guide in developing, designing, and testing suitable uv installations for use in the infectious disease laboratory. germicidal uv radiation is used in industry for protection of personnel and protection of the product. its uses in this report have been directedprimarily toward protection of personnel and test animals.
