When it comes to preserving and improving your indoor air quality, you have many options. Each type of air filtration system has its way of removing pollutants, contaminants, and allergens from your air. However, improving indoor air quality is about more than just increasing your comfort. Your air quality makes an impact on your health and the health of your family. Passing biological pollutants through a filtering material may be beneficial, but it’s not completely effective in purifying your air. This is where UV germicidal lights come in.
What Do These Do?
Also referred to as a UV air purifier, UV germicidal lights eliminate biological pollutants from your ductwork, so that they cannot be distributed through your air. Dirt and dust can be removed with standard air filtration, however, biological particles are a bit tougher to remove.
Breathing these microorganisms in can result in ill effects for you and your family. They build up in dark, moist environments, making your ductwork a prime location. However, even though traditional air filters can’ reach or eliminate them, ultraviolet radiation effectively kills them.
Keeps You Healthy
If you or anyone in your family suffer from allergies or asthma, symptoms can be aggravated without a way to truly eliminate harmful microorganisms. You may think your indoor air is clean, but getting rid of dust and pet dander is only the beginning. UV germicidal lights cause cellular damage to and destroy developing germs, viruses, bacteria, and fungi, therefore reducing the number of airborne allergens plaguing so many people.
Does It Work?
These systems have become so trusted that their popularity is quickly growing in commercial settings. Businesses throughout the country have reported fewer illnesses in the workplace after installing these systems, and when paired with HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arresting) filters they have such an effective sterilizing effect that even hospitals use them now.
