What Are UV Air Purifiers?
Posted by John on Jul 16, 2008
Before we can look at UV air purifiers and their advantages we must look at UV or Ultra Violet Light and what it does.
UV rays are a natural air purifier that are typically generated by the sun. The wavelength we are concerned with in regards to UV air purifier is UV-C or shortwave ultraviolet radiation. This wavelength destroys bacteria and other biological pollutants. UV air purifiers then can be considered for home use to destroy viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew.
With a UV air purifier you are effectively removing the risks involved with air borne diseases.
The Centers for Disease Control has recommended the UV air purifier for hospitals for many years. UV air purifiers are becoming more and more efficient. A UV air purifier is actually installed in the duct work of your existing furnace and air conditioner. Maintenance of a UV air purifier is very minor.
The use of another air purifier is recommended in conjunction of a UV air purifier so that odors and larger air borne particles can be eliminated.
