UV Air Purifiers - The Complimentary Air Cleaning System
UV air purifiers utilize a type of technology that is most
effectively used in combination with other types of air
purification systems. Ultra violet air purifiers are not air
cleaning filters, in that they do not harvest harmful
particulates from the air, like the HEPA or electronic systems.
UV air purifiers are, however, an extremely useful addition to a
more comprehensive air cleaning system.
UV air purifiers use certain types of ultra violet light to
neutralize and destroy microorganisms that live in our
environment, such as bacteria and viruses, which can potentially
be very harmful, particularly to young children or older people,
or family members who have already been compromised by another
illness. UV air purifiers are also effective in dealing with
mold, and the tiny toxins that mold spores release.
Ultra violet air purifiers work by altering the DNA of these
microorganisms, which results in their death. Don't worry though
- UV air purifiers won't harm your DNA or that of your children
in any way. These purifiers are completely safe for use in your
home environment.
While the technology used in UV air purifiers is highly
effective in killing bacteria and viruses, it cannot act as an
air cleaning filter, and so by using this technology alone, dust
and particles will remain present in the atmosphere in your
home. For complete air purification, many manufacturers have
combined ultra violet air purifiers with some other type of
filter technology, such as HEPA, to ensure that the air you
breathe is as safe and clean as possible.
UV air purifiers are highly effective at what they do, but are
unable to perform the same functions as other air cleaning
systems. So for the best of both worlds, choose a system for
your home that offers both - an air cleaning filter and a uv air
purifier.
