Green Innovation & Practices
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air quality has a tremendous impact on people's health. Germicidal UV light has been proven effective and utilized in numerous applications to improve indoor air quality and therefore indoor environment. The EPA states that indoor air pollution can be much higher than the outdoor environment. In order to fight indoor air pollution people who suffer from asthma or allergies attempt to dust more, keep the windows closed, clean frequently but the allergy or asthma symptoms usually still persist. One reason is the presence of airborne germs, their particles and by products - allergens or asthma triggers in the indoor air. These microbes are considerably big factor in the indoor air pollution.
The airborne germs adversely affect the indoor air quality as they are blown past the furnace or air conditioning filter and circulated throughout the buildings. Ultraviolet light - UVC - is mandatory in hospitals, laboratories, food processing plants, any facility concerned with the indoor air quality as a health factor. UV was incorporated by the U. S. General Services Administration Office of the Chief Architect in The Standard for the Public Buildings.
Numerous health studies have shown that germicidal ultraviolet light - uvc - is very effective against allergies, asthma, mold, mildew, fungi and any DNA based airborne viruses, bacteria and spores. UV light can play a great role in secondary allergy prevention especially where airborne allergens are concerned. It can reduce suffering from allergies. The UV air cleaners help control germs that make asthma worse. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation - UVGI is the use of short UV waves, known as UVC, which has been proven to kill or inactivate tuberculosis in the indoor air. There are two ways in which UV lamps are used for indoor air quality control - upper-room air and in-duct ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. Many airborne pathogens, such as Anthrax and its spores, can be removed from the indoor air by the use of germicidal ultraviolet air purifiers.
