Effect of single and combined exposures to UV-C and UV-A LEDs on the inactivation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in water disinfection

A system consisting of one UV-A (365 nm) and two UV-C (265 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was built to evaluate the effect of single and combined exposures to UV-A and UV-C LEDs on Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli inactivation and subsequent reactivation. The dose was measured by actinom...
