Energy Dosage for UV Irradiation in Micro-organisms
The table below illustrates the amount of UV energy needed (at a radiation of 253.7nm) to inhibit micro-organism growth and to completely destroy the presence of the micro-organism.
| Organisms (English Scientific Term) | Type | Disease | Energy dosage of Ultraviolet radiation needed for kill factor (µW/cm2) |
| Bacillus snbths spores | Germ | 22,000 | |
| Bacteriophage | Virus | 6,600 | |
| Coxsackie yinus | Virus | The bowel way infects | 6,300 |
| Shigella spores | Germ | Germ dysentery | 4,200 |
| Escherichia coli | Germ | Food poisoning | 6,600 |

| Streptococcus spores | Germ | Throat infection | 3,800 |
According to known standards for disinfection, different micro-organisms will have a different killing and death quality value when using UV-C. It can be calculated using the formula as below.
K (disinfectant quantity- μ W Sec/cm2) = I(the strength μ W/cm 2)* t(time-sec)
Based on this formula, it can be seen that either a high strength, short time or a low strength, long time will provide similar disinfection effects.
However, in reality, there are many factors to consider when calculating the amount of UV-C energy required, including air flow, humidity levels, time and distance, making the calculation very difficult. Although this is so, studies have shown that sufficient UV-C frequency is able to kill any micro-organism containing DNA and that the UV-C technology effects are additive.
