The answer is: all of the above.

Explanation:

  1. The air: UV radiation is commonly used in air purification systems to destroy airborne microbes, including bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. This is particularly useful in healthcare settings, laboratories, and HVAC systems to maintain clean air.

  2. Drinking water: UV radiation is an effective method for disinfecting drinking water. It inactivates harmful microorganisms without the use of chemicals, making it a popular choice for water treatment plants and portable water purification systems.

  3. Food items: UV radiation is also used in the food industry to sterilize surfaces and packaging, as well as to extend the shelf life of certain food products by reducing microbial load.

Summary: UV radiation is extensively used to destroy microbes in the air, drinking water, and food items.
