THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

INTRODUCTION

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has affected day to day life and is slowing down the

global economy. This pandemic has affected thousands of peoples, who are either

sick or are being killed due to the spread of this disease. The emphasis is on taking

extensive precautions such as extensive hygiene protocol (e.g., regularly washing of

hands, avoidance of face-to-face interaction etc.), social distancing, and wearing of

masks, and so on. This virus is spreading exponentially region wise (Whus, 2015).

Countries are banning gatherings of people to the spread and break the exponential

curve. Many countries are locking their population and enforcing strict quarantine to

control the spread of the havoc of this highly communicable disease. (Lunh, L.

(2002).

According to John (2019) Due to the on-going pandemic, things have changed

a lot. We need to wear masks everywhere, sanitize our hands time to time, etc. One

such issue that the researchers found was, after using our mobile phones or other

things outside, we often forget to sanitize them or we do it with liquid disinfectant.

Thus, we the Researchers wanted to build something that could help people stay

away from germs by disinfecting their essentials without touching the disinfecting

machine itself.

1
 In the current era, Virus and bacteria has been a major threat to the

environment. Therefore, UV-C Light Disinfection Box is created in order to

minimize the problem.

Ultraviolet (UV) lamps emit light in the 200-400 nm wavelength range. The 200-

300 nm range is often called germicidal because this UV light is absorbed by the DNA

and RNA of microorganisms. The absorption of UV photons causes changes in the

structure of the DNA and RNA, rendering the microorganisms incapable of replicating.

Because they cannot multiply, they cannot cause disease, even though technically they

are still metabolically alive. The degree of microorganism inactivation is determined by

the UV dose applied. (Jukes, 2014)

According to Michael (2010) UV light is usually delivered to drinking water as it

flows through a UV reactor. The UV equipment (including one or more UV reactors) is

typically applied to filtered water and is often installed after the filter effluent piping

recombining before the clear well. It is very important that the operators are able to

control the UV output in the reactor so that at least a minimum UV dose is applied at all

times.

2
Theoretical Background

Since the outbreak of Sars-CoV-2 public health measures have been adopted

globally, most notably the use of face masks has become essential and often mandatory.

As a result, about 3.4 billion single-use face masks are estimated to be discarded daily

worldwide. Due to waste mismanagement, the COVID19 pandemic is severely impacting

the environment, the ecosystem and therefore human health. We aimed to assess if UV-C

light is an efficient tool for proper mask disinfection, to guarantee their safe reuse and

reduce their waste.

The UVC-LEDs are semiconductors consisting of stable structure doped in

precious metals (Harris et al. 2012; Nyangaresi et al. 2018).The power supply of the

sources can be continuous or pulsed, so the light emitted by the sources, the lifetime, and

the spectrum emission depends on the nature of source and the power supply type. The

conventional UVC lamps, of medium or low pressure, remain the most common

disinfection unit source. However, these lamps present inherent disadvantages such as the

use of mercury, the low mechanical stability, and ozone production. They are related at

30 W power and their peak emission was at 254 nm; their lifetime is about 8000 hours.

The technology using high-intensity pulsed xenon lamps is a polychromatic

source that produces short-time flashes (Otaki et al. 2003). The lamps are used to

generate broad spectrum 200–300 nm high intensity UV light. The UVC-LEDs are also

emerging UVC light source as an alternative to conventional lamps.

The advantage of UVC-LEDs is their compact size and energy saving, which is

four to nine times more efficient than the UVC lamps in water treatment. However, their

3
use is still limited as a result of their high cost (Harris et al. 2012; Nyangaresi et

al. 2018). Several studies were reported in order to compare the efficiency of the different

disinfection units. In fact, McDonald et al. (2000) have compared the decontamination of

surfaces and the inactivation of microbe by using conventional lamps and pulsed light

sources. They found that pulsed UV light is more effective than conventional lamps.

Stibich et al. (2011) have compared the conventional lamps and pulsed xenon systems for

the reduction of the healthcare-associated pathogens in hospital rooms.

They have shown that pulsed xenon and mercury lamps have the same

effectiveness at relatively short exposure time, about 10 min. Song et al. (2020) have

used continuous and pulsed xenon UV to inactivate microorganisms in ambulances. They

have reported that the device does not need to use chemical agents and reduce 90% of E.

coli, Staphylococcus albus, and environmental pathogens in 30 min. Although the

disinfection unit has evolved in the direction of using more compact systems and mercury

free, UVC mercury lamps remain the most used thanks to their low cost.

UVC–pulsed (continuous) lamps (UVC-LEDs), complementary devices, such as

reflective walls and humidifiers, were used to enhance disinfection effectiveness. In this

context, several authors (Rutala et al. 2013; Krishnamoorthy and Tande 2014; Sung et

al. 2011; Woo et al. 2012) have studied the effect of complementary devices to reduce the

disinfection time therefore increasing the effectiveness of UVC lamps. In fact, Rutala et

al. (2013) have shown that combining UVC lamps with reflective walls reduce the time

necessary to decontaminate a room already contaminated with methicillin-resistant

Staphylococcus aureus, from 25 min 13 s to 5 min 3 s and Clostridium difficile spores,

from 43 min 42 s to 9 min 24 s. Krishnamoorthy and Tande (2014) have shown that

4
employing reflective paint increases from 20 to 10%, depending on the distance source-

surface, the radiative fluxes on certain surfaces. The experimental results are in

agreement with these obtained by mathematical modeling.

It has been demonstrated that using humidifiers equally enhances disinfection

effectiveness. In fact, Woo et al. (2012) have associated UVC lamps with humidifier

using deionized water, beef extract, and artificial salvia, which generates different

humidity levels (30%, 60%, and 90%), in order to examine the relative humidity effect on

the disinfection effectiveness of MS2 bacteriophage.

A 5.8 logs reduction factor was seen for deionized water at relative humidity of

30% after applying an UVC lamp (1 mW/cm 2) for 30 min. McDevitt et al. (2012) have

studied the susceptibility of influenza virus to UVC and have reported that it increases

with decreasing relative humidity. Complementary devices such as humidifiers and

reflective walls are shown to increase the inactivation effectiveness of several

microorganisms.

Definition of Terms

Computer Technology – the activity of designing and constructing and programming

computers. type of: engineering, technology. the practical application of science to

commerce or industry.

Pandemic- (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world.

Covid-19- an acute respiratory illness in humans caused by a coronavirus, capable of

producing severe symptoms and in some cases death, especially in older people and those

with underlying health conditions. It was originally identified in China in 2019 and

became pandemic in 2020.

UV-C Light- a radiation method that makes use of a specific wavelength of ultraviolet

light to neutralize microorganisms.

UV-C- radiation that is in the region of the ultraviolet spectrum which extends from

about 200 to 280 nm in wavelength and that is more hazardous than UVB but is mostly

absorbed by earth's upper atmosphere.

Google Forms- a tool within Google Drive for creating online survey forms. It is not as

feature-rich as Qualtrics, but it does support basic data validation, basic skip logic, and a

range of question types.

UVC LEDS- Ultraviolet (UV) LEDs have applications in the field of water treatment,

optical data storage, communications, biological agent detection and polymer curing. The

UVC region of the UV spectral range refers to wavelengths between 100 nm to 280 nm.

15
UV REACTOR- systems that expose flowing water to light from UV lamps. They're

widely used in treating (for instance) drinking water, wastewater, industrial process water

and ballast water.

DNA- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological

instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains,

is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction.

RNA- ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act

as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins,

although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information.

Disinfection- the process of cleaning something, especially with a chemical, in order to

destroy bacteria.

Humidifiers- a device for keeping the atmosphere moist in a room.

Influenza Virus- Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system —

your nose, throat and lungs. Influenza is commonly called the flu, but it's not the same as

stomach "flu" viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting. For most people, the flu resolves

on its own.

Artificial Salvia- a saliva substitute that temporarily moistens and lubricates the mouth

and creates a protective film to help reduce the risk of mechanical trauma that can result

from chronic dry mouth.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary, findings and recommendation made in the
study.

Summary
The main purpose of this study is to determine the satisfaction of using the UV-C

disinfection box to the BIT Computer Technology third year students of Cebu

Technological University- Moalboal Campus. It also aimed to find out the profile of the

respondents, availability devices used in disinfecting item and students’ satisfaction to the

UV-C Light Disinfection Box.

Specifically, this sought to answer the following inquiries: The students’ profile

(age, gender and their year and section); Student’s satisfaction to the UV-C Light

Disinfection, and Satisfaction of using other disinfection materials (Alcohol, Sanitizer

Gel and Antibacterial Wipes) for the school year of 2021-2022 for an Action Plan.

Findings

1. Student’s Profile

Majority of the respondents were female students of the 3 rd year BIT- Major

Computer Technology and every section of each block section has more females than

males. This states that most students of this gender satisfy how the UV-C Light

Disinfection box works and has more interest in using it.

2. Student’s satisfaction to the UV-C Light Disinfection Box

Majority of the students tells that they are satisfied in using it and it is effective to

use it every time. It is also easy to learn and very user friendly that even others can

operate it. This means that UV-C Light are the new devices that to disinfect things and

they find it good. In the study of Michael (2010) UV-C Light is usually used in most

laboratories because it is very effective and very easy to use.

3. Satisfaction of using other disinfection materials

Majority of the BIT – Major in Computer Technology find it satisfactory in using

other materials for disinfection. Alcohol being the first, because that is the most common

materials used today in disinfecting things.

30
Conclusion

Based on the findings, UV-C Light Disinfection box satisfies the students to use it

every time to disinfect their belongings. It is very helpful for student especially in this

time of pandemic. This is revolutionary not just for students but for all here in the

Philippines for it answers the struggle in disinfecting things easily.

Recommendation

Based on the results of the study, in order to get the most satisfied response from

students, it is recommended that students should have the device and use it in order for

them to have a better understanding in the materials. It is also suggested that students

should learn how the system works in order for them to use it successfully.

For future researchers, it is suggested that to innovate the device in order to

successfully satisfy the people who uses it.
