Abstract:
A method of treatment of liquids, air and surfaces through the use of UV radiation with continuous spectrum, said method including the step of applying the UV radiation to at least one of the liquids, air or surfaces at an impulse duration of 10.sup.-6 -10.sup.-3 sec. and an intensity of irradiation no less than 100 kW/m.sup.2, said radiation being emitted by a plasma source of radiation with impulse energy storage, wherein energy stored up at a moment of discharge the radiation impulse duration and an area of radiating surface of radiation source are bound together by the relation: ##STR1##where:W.sub.0 --is the energy stored up at a moment of discharge, J;S.sub.rad --is the radiation surface area of the radiation source, m.sup.2 ;t.sub.1/2 --is the duration of radiation impulse at half-altitude of a peak, sec;A=10.sup.8 W/m.sup.2 --is a constant coefficient.
