Room Air Purification

Microorganisms and Irritants in the Air Contribute to Health Issues, Asthma, and Allergies

Bacteria, virus, and mold move on air currents from one space to another. You can’t see them, but they’re around and can have a significant impact on your family’s health and wellness. They can be responsible for your household members passing a cold, virus, or the flu to each other. Irritants can trigger and exacerbate allergies and asthma. Some microorganisms could also be disastrous for people with compromised immune systems. UV-C room air purification protects against infection, aids in asthma and allergies, and eliminates odors by destroying harmful microorganisms, bacteria, mold, and viruses.

Forgotten Areas of the Home Benefit from UV-C

Temperature and moisture can fluctuate in location such as your basement, crawlspace, attic, or attached garage. Because of this, these locations become a favorable environment for microorganisms to reproduce and spread into other areas of your home. When you treat the air in these areas of the home, you reduce the re-population of virus, bacteria, and mold that would otherwise spread rapidly into your home’s living spaces.

Everyone benefits when microorganisms and irritants are halted where they begin. Cold and flu germs, asthma and allergy irritants, and fungi are not given the opportunity to reproduce. UV-C air treatment reduces and eliminates odors that can trigger allergies and asthma. It also increases overall sanitization in the home by disrupting the DNA structure of microbes before they are inhaled or land of surfaces.

For maximum health and wellness benefits, use a combination of a SANITAIRE®open_in_new Ultraviolet Room Air Sanitizer or a Hygeaire®open_in_new Ultraviolet Indirect Air Disinfection fixture.

The SANITAIRE® Ultraviolet Room Air Sanitizer provides maximum virus and bacteria elimination to the air of virtually any occupied setting in your home. Models feature a permanent, washable, electrostatic intake filter or disposable filter capable of removing airborne particles as small as 5 microns. When required, most models can utilize a cost-effective disposable filter as an option. Model RSA760 comes standard with a HEPA filter as well.

The SANITAIRE® pulls air from the occupied, enclosed space through the electrostatic filter. The air moves into its polished, reflective exposure chamber where it’s exposed to UV-C rays for a precise amount of time before cycling through a louvered panel and back into your room. This UV-C room air purification system was designed with portability in mind. No professional installation is required, so you can move the unit from room to room as needed. Molded rubber feet allow you to place the SANITAIRE® on tabletops, shelves, or any stable surface. A wall mount kit is also included that enables you to hang your fixture for a more semi-permanent installation if preferred.

Hygeaire® Ultraviolet Indirect Air Disinfection fixtures are designed for large, occupied, public spaces by providing powerful purification for upper room air. Studies show influenza is inactivatedopen_in_new when the air is exposed to UV-C from an upper room disinfection system. In addition, the CDC has recommended for years that upper room UV-C disinfection units be used in high-risk settings to supplement air dilution, due to their effectiveness in eradicating the tuberculosis bacteriumopen_in_new.

The Hygeaire® installs on a wall or from the ceiling. The bottom of its base must be at a minimum of 7′ off the ground. A louvered panel keeps the UV-C rays where they need to be, across the upper part of the room. At this height, occupants are safely out of the path of the ultraviolet rays. These fixtures are designed to project the ultraviolet rays across the upper room air, thereby destroying bacteria and virus that are carried into the ultraviolet field by convection currents or air circulation. The Hygeaire® reduces the risk of cross infection and exposure to infectious germs, creating a healthy breathing environment.
