Health experts agree that one of the best ways to promote long-term health is to keep indoor air pure and free of both particulate contaminants as well as germs, bacteria, and other microbes. Today’s consumer is fortunate to have a wide variety of air purification systems to choose from, including air filters that more efficiently deal with microbial organisms than the air filters of years past. When it comes to choosing an air purifier and filtration system that will deal with these microscopic organisms, a filter that provides UV air purification may be the best choice to meet your needs.
Ultraviolet Air Cleansing: The Basics
Unlike other air filtration systems that depend on HEPA filters or other devices to trap dust and other particles, UV air filtration uses state-of-the-art ultraviolet light technology to keep viruses and other microorganisms from reproducing and infecting a home, office, or other indoor space. Ultraviolet light damages the genetic material that controls the reproduction of these organisms, making it impossible for them to reproduce. This stops these illness-inducing microbes in their tracks and prevents the spread of various diseases and other problems. A UV light air purification system often combines a UV lamp with a traditional filter in order to maximize both the removal of particulate matter from the air and the killing of germs and bacteria....
The warning with UV lights is no different than with a tanning bed or looking directly at the sun.
