It's Your Health!

The stuff floating in the air is 80% dead skin and over 350 different allergy producing air pollutants and contaminants, including cigarette, cigar and pipe smoke, germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew and fungi, pollen, house dust and dust mites, odors from smoke, pets, mold, mildew, exhaust fumes, food, body sweat, chemical gases (formaldehyde, benzene, etc.) from new carpets, furniture, cleaning products, solvents, furnishings, dry cleaning and construction.

 

The effects of breathing this allergy producing air pollution include dizziness, irritability, coughing, sneezing, dry eyes, hay fever, allergies, asthma symptoms, sinus problems, ear infections, depression, fatigue, headaches, nausea, breathing problems, respiratory infections, and etc.

 

Physicians are now discovering that the solution to the problems of many of these people is not in medicine but in reducing the pollutants in the air people breathe.  Unfortunately,  mere filtration is insufficient.  Filters themselves can actually create a breeding ground for pathogens, like molds, bacteria and dust mites and do nothing to combat chemicals or odors.

 

How Ultraviolet Light Works

Ultraviolet light possesses just the right amount of energy to break organic molecular bonds.  As micro-organisms pass by the UV rays radiated from an ultraviolet lamp, molecular bond of micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi (like molds), and etc. is  broken.  This translates into cellular or genetic damage that ultimately results in the destruction of the micro-organisms.

 

Some Facts About UV Purification

Medical studies using germicidal ultra-violet air disinfection have proven effective in reducing the spread of tuberculosis, measles, influenza, smallpox, and controlling infection in operating rooms.

 

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of ultraviolet light to destroy airborne microorganisms.  CDC has also recommended UV lights in homeless shelters to prevent the spread of disease.

 

The U.S. government now specifies that UV light should be used in air handling units to improve indoor air quality in government buildings, by controlling airborne and surface microbial growth.

 

The Air Institute of Respiratory Education suggests UV lights be used in buildings for indoor air quality purposes, and states that may be the final line of defense against those diseases that have developed resistance to drugs, such as tuberculosis and others.
