Should you use an ultraviolet steriliser at home? No, it is not advisable.

Ultraviolet C (UVC) sterilisers use radiation to kill germs and viruses. However, if you are accidentally exposed to this radiation, you may be at risk of eye and skin injuries. Many sterilisers marketed for home use, lack the safety features that protect you from unintended exposure to UVC radiation.

It’s sales galore, with #BlackFriday, #CyberMonday, and the 12.12 sales coming up in the next few weeks, but before tapping on the check out button, ask yourself: “Do I really need this?”

For instance, if your current electronic device isn’t working, try sending it for repair, to save it from the landfill. And if it is beyond repair, don’t forget to drop it in a recycle bin. More at https://go.gov.sg/nea-recycle-e-waste
