UV air purifiers are the air purification technology of chose for IAQ professionals concerned primarily with the removal of airborne microorganisms, mold, bacteria, and viruses. There are two types of UV air purifiers; UV and UV-C. UV-C in the 254 nm wavelength does not produce ozone but will produce "friendly oxidizers" 1.5 times stronger than ozone (superoxide ions, hydroxyl radicals) when humidity is present.
The Ionic Zone Induct and Airpura utilize UV-C technology to sanitize the air. If you smoke or want to remove second hand smoke, we recommend an ozone generator. (From $149.99) Anyone with a HVAC system can benefit from the newly upgraded 80W UV-C Induct system ($279) used in conjunction with a quality MERV 11 filter or a washable furnace filter with a lifetime warranty. |
