Filters trap particulate matter… but only when microorganisms are attached to these particulates can they, themselves, become trapped. Unfortunately, germs, bacteria, and other microorganisms usually travel unimpeded through your home and workplace.

Recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, safe and effective ultraviolet germicidal lamps can actually destroy microorganisms as they come into contact with powerful UV-C rays. In fact, special ultraviolet units are often deployed in health care institutions where occupants are regularly exposed to pathogens that cause infectious disease.

Ultraviolet germicidal treatments are safe, quick and effective. UV-C rays strike at a microorganism (whether a virus, bacteria, yeast, mold, or algae) by breaking through the outer cell membrane. Once radiation reaches the core of the organism (commonly referred to as the DNA) physical disruptions begin to occur. These disruptions trigger the DNA into transmitting incorrect code, and this impairment ultimately brings about the destruction of the organism.

The use of a UV-C germicidal lamps in combination with effective HEPA filtration systems create a synergistic disinfection of indoor air.

The Sun: Nature's Outdoor Air Purifier

For years, scientists have recognized that sunlight is one of nature's most effective air purifiers.

Each day, streams of ultraviolet light work to control airborne bacteria. Now, this is not the actual light that we see streaming into our windows, but rather it is the invisible "C" band, a component of the sun's ultraviolet light spectrum. UV-C light actually inhibits the growth and reproduction of germs: bacteria, viruses, fungi and mold.
