The Centers for Disease Control recommend
UV lamps for their germicidal effect.
|
Ultraviolet rays with this UV-C wavelength will destroy
pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, mold, and mildew.
This component of sunlight is the main reason that microorganisms
die in outdoor air. The UV-C rays break through the
outer membrane of microbes like yeast, mold, bacteria,
viruses, or algae. When the radiation reaches the DNA
of the microbe, it causes modifications. The DNA then
transmits incorrect codes and this causes the death
of the microbe.
Ultraviolet germicidal lamps provide a much more
powerful and concentrated effect of ultraviolet energy
than can be found naturally. Such lamps sanitize air
that is passed directly in their path to destroy pathogens
that come in contact with the UV rays. Musty, moldy
type odors can be eradicated, along with tuberculosis,
cold and flu viruses, smallpox, anthrax, and other
airborne diseases. This system is particularly beneficial
to those suffering from allergies-common allergens
are molds, mildews, and fungi. These microbes would
be destroyed, improving the health of the allergy
sufferer.

The sun generates ultraviolet
rays-these rays are nature’s air purifier. When sunlight
passes through a prism it is broken into its component
colors, thus giving it the colors of a rainbow. Each
color, in turn, has its own wavelengths. Ultraviolet
light has four specific wavelengths that have particular
applications:
UV-A
is the source of suntanned skin-with its relatively
longer wavelength, can penetrate the atmosphere. Applications
included tanning beds and treatment of skin diseases.
UV-B
is in the middle wavelength of the ultraviolet spectrum
and has been used to treat skin diseases, principally.
Shortwave UV Energy or Ozone is primarily used as
a sterilizer and can be generated by specially designed
UV lamps.
UV-C,
or shortwave ultraviolet radiation, is used to destroy
bacteria and other biological contaminants in the
air, in liquids, or on surfaces.
