Ikoranabuhanga ryo kwica udukoko hakoreshejwe imirasire ya UV (ultraviolet) ryabaye icyamamare mu kuvura amazi n'umwuka mu myaka makumyabiri ishize, bitewe nuko rifite ubushobozi bwo kuvura ridakoresheje imiti yangiza.

UV ihagarariye uburebure bw'urumuri bugera hagati y'urumuri rugaragara na x-ray kuri electromagnetic spectrum. Ubwinshi bw'urumuri rwa UV bushobora kugabanywamo UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, na Vacuum-UV. Igice cya UV-C kigereranya uburebure bw'urumuri kuva kuri 200 nm kugeza 280 nm, uburebure bw'urumuri bukoreshwa mu bikoresho byacu byo kurwanya udukoko twa LED.
Fotoni za UV-C zinjira mu turemangingo zikangiza aside nucleic, bigatuma zidashobora kororoka, cyangwa ngo zidakora mikorobe. Iyi gahunda ibaho mu buryo busanzwe; izuba risohora imirasire ya UV ikora muri ubu buryo.

Mu gihe cyo gukonjesha, dukoresha urumuri rutanga urumuri (LEDs) kugira ngo tubone fotoni nyinshi za UV-C. Imirasire yerekezwa kuri virusi, bagiteri n'izindi ndwara ziba mu mazi no mu mwuka, cyangwa ku buso kugira ngo izo ndwara zitagira ingaruka mbi mu masegonda make.

Nkuko amatara ya LED yahinduye inganda zo kwerekana no gucana, ikoranabuhanga rya UV-C LED rigiye gutanga ibisubizo bishya, binoze kandi byagutse haba mu gutunganya umwuka no mu mazi. Ubu hari uburyo bwo kurinda imiyoboro ibiri nyuma yo kuyungurura amazi aho sisitemu zishingiye kuri mercure zitashoboraga gukoreshwa mbere.

Izi LED zishobora gushyirwa muri sisitemu zitandukanye kugira ngo zisukure amazi, umwuka n'ubuso. Izi sisitemu kandi zikorana n'amapaki ya LED kugira ngo zikwirakwize ubushyuhe kandi zinoze imikorere myiza y'uburyo bwo gusukura.
