Ultraviolet C (UV-C) light technology employs a particular wavelength within the ultraviolet spectrum to deactivate microorganisms, utilizing radiation as its method. UV-C possesses germicidal properties, effectively disrupting DNA of microorganisms such bacteria, viruses and various pathogens, thereby impeding their ability replicate induce illness. Additionally, could enhance production phytochemicals prevent contamination in agricultural applications. However, overexposure can cause safety issues, especially for operators handling utilization or sterilization This study investigated destructive effects on morphology chlorophyll content lettuces exposed durations, aiming assess risks associated with prolonged exposure. The results showed that exposure affects morphological changes. most damaging effect lettuce was found 2 h treatment. In treatment, length reduced from 6.01 ± 0.80 cm day 5.55 0.78 3. lowest fresh weight also at treatment (4.32 0.94 gr). addition, total stomata aperture (41 units). Furthermore, 4, after treatments, a, b were be 1.59 0.02 mg g−1 FW, 0.93 FW 2.52 0.04 respectively. Therefore, during These findings indicate dangers long-term lettuce. Practically, this have negative impact humans. knowledge gleaned these is useful issues industrial application UV-C.
