UV-C light has been used since the late 1800s to eliminate microorganisms affecting indoor air quality. Niels Ryberg Finsen pioneered the medical use of UV rays, earning the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1903 for his Finsen curative lamp.

In 1908, UV-C was used to disinfect Marseille's municipal water supply. Westinghouse developed the first commercial UV-C germicidal lamps in the 1930s, primarily for hospitals. Post-World War II, UV-C technology expanded to sterilize air in various facilities, including hospitals and food processing plants.

In the 1950s, UV-C was integrated into air handling systems to combat tuberculosis. The 1960s saw a decline in microbial concerns due to new drugs and cleaners. However, the 1970s energy crisis led to HVAC shutdowns, resulting in microbial contamination when systems restarted.

Recent advancements have broadened UV-C disinfection applications. UV Technology, through strategic partnerships, now offers top-tier UV-C germicidal products to meet diverse needs.
