certain medical & dental "ovens" use UV light to kill bacteria.  also, UV light is used to erase EPROMS.  another source of UV (more than tanning beds or sunlight) is arc welding.  carbon arc lights (the kind you see at shopping malls that look like search lights) also put out large amounts of UV, but of course you don't stand in front of the light from them.
