Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is a technology that utilizes ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. UV disinfection can be applied to both air and surfaces to reduce the spread of pathogens and maintain a clean and safe environment. Here’s an overview of UV disinfection for air and surfaces:
UV Disinfection for Air:
1. UV Air Purifiers:
UV light can be integrated into air purifiers to disinfect the air as it passes through the device.
UV-C light (short-wavelength, germicidal UV) is commonly used for air disinfection.
2. HVAC Systems:
UV lights can be installed within heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to disinfect air circulating through the system.
This helps prevent the growth of mold and bacteria on HVAC components and improves indoor air quality.
