Will a black light kill germs?

A black light itself does not kill germs; it primarily emits ultraviolet (UV) light, which can have germicidal effects at certain wavelengths, particularly UV-C. Some UV-C devices are specifically designed to disinfect surfaces and air by inactivating bacteria and viruses. However, not all black lights emit UV-C wavelengths, and their effectiveness in germ elimination depends on exposure time and intensity. Therefore, while certain UV lights can kill germs, standard black lights are not reliable for disinfection.
