Due its well-described antimicrobial activity, UVC can represent a useful tool for disinfect surfaces, water, and air. The aim of this study was to illustrate the studies over time ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to disinfect air and surfaces. Methods Articles on Scopus published until April 14, 2023, were considered. Many issues involving UV were deepened crosschecking with e.g., \"air\", \"surfaces\", \"disinfection\", \"bacteria\", \"fungi\", \"operating theatres\". According to the case, the following variables were considered: years and related number of articles, sources of publications, subject areas, type of document published, type of journal, nationalities of the authors. Results Since 30's, 287 448 articles on UV have been published. Among UVGI, 22 159 articles covered bacteria issue, followed by fungi and viruses with about 12000 both.
