UltraViolet Lighting
The EPA tells us that the air inside your home is up to 100 times more polluted than the outdoor environment.
Ultraviolet germicidal light has been used since 1936 in controlling airborne pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Ultraviolet germicidal light is used in many applications: water treatment, hospital surgical rooms, laboratories, fish tanks and ponds, meat packing plants, dairies, etc...As these microscopic bioaerosols are rotated back to the return air assembly (kill zone) are exposed to the germicidal light, their DNA structure is altered, thus sterlilizing them.
This technology uses Photocatalytic Oxidation which uses ultraviolet energy and a semiconductor.
