An ultraviolet, or UV, light emitting device designed for portable use aids in the detection of organic substances. Certain bodily fluids, including those from domestic animals, contain phosphors that glow under UV illumination, making residues otherwise invisible to the naked eye readily apparent on various surfaces.
The utility of these devices stems from their ability to locate sources of unpleasant odors and potential hygiene concerns. Historically, similar UV technology has been applied in forensic science and sanitation inspection. Its application in the domestic sphere provides a convenient method for identifying and addressing pet-related accidents, contributing to a cleaner and healthier living environment.
