UV Air purifiers- removing airborne bacteria and viruses
What can UV light air purifiers clean?
The huge amount of scientific research carried out has clearly demonstrated that UV light:
- Can remove stale, musty and mold odors.
- Helps reduce cold and flu viruses.
- Helps reduce the spread of many other airborne diseases.
- Halts further development of infectious diseases such as Legionella and tuberculosis bacteria.
The Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA has issued reports on Ultraviolet radiation, verifying that airborne bacteria, viruses, and fungi passing through UV light rays will be destroyed.
The medical profession
has been using this method of disinfection for many years as a successful means to sanitize rooms and equipment as well as preventing the further spread of harmful microbes.
The Centers for Disease Control
have also confirmed this by extending their recommendation to Ultraviolet radiation systems as an effective germicide.
Why is UV Light effective in removing virulent airborne diseases?
Common chemical disinfectants such as chlorine and ozone damage and even destroy the cell-structure of microorganisms by creating imbalances in their metabolism, which deterring further biosynthesis and growth.
Ultraviolet light attacks them from a different angle and prevents the micro-organisms from replicating themselves. This is caused by the UV rays penetrating through their sub-structure to irreparably damage their nucleic acid. Without a replicating process available, the microbes are contained and become harmless and die.
