Eliminate viruses with UV-C light

If you want to keep yourself healthy, it is certainly a matter of course for you to keep your home clean and germ-free by regular cleaning and disinfection. Surfaces and handles in particular are thoroughly cleaned in the process. However, at the latest since the Corona pandemic, we have all become aware of the important role played by the viral load in the air we breathe.

When coughing and sneezing, droplets that may contain viruses are initially thrown into the air. Large, heavy drops sink quite quickly to the ground or objects. Smaller ones, however, can remain suspended in the air for several hours or even days. Therefore, you cannot clean them yourself, but must resort to technical aids. For decades, a solution has proven itself for this purpose, which is also used, for example, in the medical field, with which you can keep your room air clean and thus keep yourself a bit healthier: UV-C light!

How does air purification with UV-C light work?

Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. You may know that this light is also used in solariums. However, these are the longer types of radiation, UV-A and UV-B. The shortest wavelength, UV-C radiation, on the other hand, is the light that is used to disinfect water, objects and the air. Living beings should not be permanently exposed to this light, as it can accelerate skin aging.

However, when installed in air-conditioning systems, the air is completely safely directed past the UV-C lamps inside the unit, thus posing no danger to anyone present in the room.

It is an extremely effective method to kill various pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and molds: the UV lamp can kill up to 99.9 % of the bacteria and viruses it contains by destroying the molecular components of the microorganisms. Within seconds, they become inactive. This type of disinfection has the advantage of being without the use of dangerous chemical substances!
