What is used to view urine, semen, and vaginal secretions during cleanup?

The use of ultraviolet (UV) light is particularly effective in revealing bodily fluids such as urine, semen, and vaginal secretions during cleanup processes. UV light has the ability to cause certain substances to fluoresce, which makes them more visible against the surrounding surfaces, especially in environments that may not be well-lit or where stains are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Bodily fluids contain components that respond to UV light, leading to a distinct glow when illuminated. This feature is essential for thorough crime scene cleanup, ensuring that all potential evidence or hazardous materials are identified and properly addressed. While other lighting options may enhance visibility to some extent, they do not provide the same level of clarity for revealing these specific substances as UV light does.
