The rapid use of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) in various disinfection applications is growing tremendously due to their advantages unachievable using UV lamps. In this study, a comparison of standard LED at 460 nm wavelength and UVA LED at 385 nm was conducted to determine their effec...
