UVC is entirely absorbed by dead skin cells and is not dangerous. UVC may be a problem on broken skin and if shone direct into the eyes for long periods but as a general killer of virus and bacteria it is very useful. There are no known links between UVC and cancers and by killing virus's it may prevent you getting virus induced cancers.

Which part of the em spectrum can be used to kill bacteria?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, specifically UVC light, can be used to kill bacteria. UVC light has a short wavelength and high energy, which damages the DNA and RNA of bacteria, preventing their growth and reproduction. This property makes UVC light an effective tool for disinfection purposes.
Does troposphere layer protects us from ultraviolet rays?
No, it doesnt. The stratosphere layer protects us from UV rays.
What is the difference between UV-A and UV-B?
U.V can be separated according to its energy level and wavelength with UVa having the lowest energy and longest wavelength followed by UVb and ultimately UVc which has the shortest wavelength and highest energy level. You may be familiar with UVa and UVb as the part of the suns rays which cause tanning, aging, and skin cancer. The Sun also emits UVc the most powerful and dangerous type of U.V., fortunately for us most of this is stopped in the upper atmosphere by gasses like ozone.
How does this radiation affect us here on earth which ones reach us and of these which are useful and which are harmful?
Its Adrian Dias
How long does it take for the sun light to reach us?
About 8 minutes
Why does UVC not affect the skin?
UVC radiation is almost completely absorbed by the ozone layer and does not affect the skin as it doesnt get to us.
What does production plan mean?
prod planning uvc
What is the definition of the word UVC?
There are two definitions for UVC. One being radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum and is more hazardous than UVB. The second is medical which has essentially the same meaning.
An area where light doesnt reach?
it is the dark ocean

How the iPod help us?
it doesnt
How does trigonometry help us?
it doesnt.
How does math relate with us?
it doesnt
Can webcam work without CD?
If your webcam is UVC - USB Video Class compliant - and If you're running Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard - the drivers for UVC webcams are built right into the operating system. No disc or drivers are needed.
What electromagnetic waves must sunscreen protect the skin?
UVa and UVb are considered beneficial to the skin as they are responsible for the production of Vitamin D and certain anti-cancer processes. UVc is considered carcinogenic and therefore anything above that is as well.
