Get Cleaner, Healthier Indoor Air With an Air Purifier

Ultraviolet germicidal lights are most known for their use in hospitals to kill bacteria and viruses as well as to sterilize equipment.

A UV light air purifier, like radio waves and X-rays, is an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation that upon exposure, causes damage to a cell’s structure. This cell-destroying capability is what makes UV lights so effective at killing pathogens and air impurities such as mold, mildew, and bacteria.

How Does UV Light Air Purification Work?

  • How Does UV Light Air Purification Work?

    UV light is a natural product of the sun. When people get sunburned, they suffer from radiation burns from a type of UV light that is emitted from the sun. The redness is an inflammatory response of the skin when its DNA is damaged by UV radiation. Since bacteria is only made up of a single cell, it relies on that cell’s DNA makeup to survive. If that cell is damaged and the DNA is disrupted, it’ll either kill the cell or leave it inactive.

  • How Does UV Light Air Purification Work?

    A UV germicidal light is typically paired with a forced air system for greatest overall impact. The light is installed inside the return air duct, so you will not see it or be exposed to it. As air makes its way through the duct and passes the UV light, it is sanitized.

FAQs

1. What are air purifiers and how do they work?

Definition: Air purifiers are devices designed to remove contaminants from the air, improving indoor air quality.

Functionality: They work by drawing air through various types of filters (such as HEPA, activated carbon, or UV light) to capture particles like dust, pollen, smoke, and bacteria, thus cleaning the air in your home or office.

2. What are the benefits of using an air purifier in my home?

Health Improvement: Air purifiers help reduce allergens and pollutants, which can alleviate respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma symptoms.

Odor Control: They eliminate odors from pets, cooking, smoke, and more, ensuring your indoor air smells fresh.

Cleaner Environment: By trapping dust and airborne particles, air purifiers reduce the need for frequent dusting and cleaning.

3. How do I choose the right air purifier for my needs?

Room Size: Select an air purifier that is designed for the size of the room where it will be used. Check the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) to ensure it meets your requirements.

Filter Type: Consider the type of filter based on your specific needs. HEPA filters are great for allergens, activated carbon filters are best for odors, and UV light filters help with bacteria and viruses.

Features: Look for features like multiple fan speeds, air quality sensors, quiet operation, and smart connectivity for added convenience.

4. How often should I replace the filters in my air purifier?

Frequency: Most filters need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on the model and usage.

Indicator Lights: Many modern air purifiers have filter replacement indicators to remind you when it’s time for a change.

Maintenance Tip: Regularly check the filter and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for replacement to ensure optimal performance.

5. Can air purifiers help with allergies and asthma?

Effectiveness: Yes, air purifiers, especially those with HEPA filters, are highly effective at trapping allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, which can alleviate symptoms of allergies and asthma.

Continuous Use: For the best results, it’s recommended to run the air purifier continuously, especially during allergy season.

6. Are air purifiers effective against COVID-19 and other viruses?

Advanced Technology: Some air purifiers with HEPA filters, UV light, or ionization technology can help reduce the concentration of airborne viruses, including COVID-19, by capturing or neutralizing them.

Supplementary Measures: While air purifiers can help improve air quality, they should be used in conjunction with other safety measures like proper ventilation, regular cleaning, and hand hygiene to effectively reduce the spread of viruses.
