Uv rays are useful as they help in creating ozone. They are helpful as they are highly energetic waves.
Just beyond the visible light spectrum is a band of electromagnetic radiation commonly called ultra-violet (UV) light. When ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the cells of microorganisms, it damages the genetic material in such a way that the organisms are no longer able to grow or reproduce, thus ultimately killing them. This ability of UV radiation to disinfect water has been understood for almost a century, but technological difficulties and high energy costs prevented widespread use of UV systems for disinfection. Today, however, with growing concern about the safety aspects of handling chlorine and the possible health effects of chlorination by-products, UV disinfection is gaining in popularity. Technological advances are being made and a growing number of manufactures now produce UV disinfection systems for a variety water and wastewater applications. As operating experience with installed systems increases, UV disinfection is expected to become the practical alternative to the use of chlorination at many municipal water treatment plants.
Process from raw water should be as followed. 1. From raw water to municipal tap water or drinking water Filtration -> Flocculation -> Sedimentation -> Ozonation/UV/Chlorine disinfection In the country that use Chlorine disinfection, it would required Activated carbon to absorb out the chlorine smell or boil out the chlorine smell. 2. Producing of bottle drinking water Filtration -> Reverse Osmosis -> re-mineralize (add back Calcium, magnesium etc to improve taste) -> UV disinfection -> Bottling
Depends what you mean by "useful." UV light can cause chemical reactions to occur very rapidly, and is thus used in highly precise photo-engraving, such as in the making of micro-chips. It is also useful in killing micro-organisms.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that absorbs UV radiation. It has a strong absorption peak in the UV range, around 280 nanometers, which makes it useful for studying protein structure and interactions using techniques such as UV spectroscopy.
Yes. UV lights are also used to kill viruses. UVHeal safe Air provides a UVGI system for HVAC in shopping malls, hospitals, offices, commercial complexes, hotels, and housing complexes. How it Works UVHeal™ SafeAir UVC air disinfection essentially involves a short-wave Ultraviolet (UV-C) light to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms into the irradiated region of the UV disinfection device. The UV air sanitising system purifies the air and eliminates the danger of airborne infection, a significant cause of many deadly diseases. We provide you with customised air disinfection solutions based on your requirements.
According to <http:/www.heraeus-noblelight.com/en/uv-disinfection-oxidation/information-for-disinfection-and-oxidation/services-and-events/emission-spectra-of-germicidal-lamps.html> 254nm appears to be the most common. Shorter wavelengths appear to create ozone
XPES induction UV lamp is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added which makes this process simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance. Approximately 95% of the ultraviolet energy emitted is at the mercury resonance line of 254nm.

Chlorine, bromine, uv, ozone.
Useful effects of UV are also there. Filters, locks etc use UV.

If you are talking about light, then UV-C is a shortwave Ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 280 nm - 100 nm and can be used for disinfection of many different things like air, water or surfaces.

Ultraviolet (UV) light kills bacteria and viruses in water. The light shines through the water, which must be clear. It does not add a scent or taste to the water.
