UV light air purifiers harness the power of light on the UV-C spectrum of ultraviolet light to ‘inactivate’ a broad range of pathogens and organisms including but not limited to viruses, bacteria and mold spores.
Also known as UV-C or UVGI air purifiers, ultraviolet light emitted by these purifiers causes germicidal irradiation to damage the DNA and RNA in microorganisms, preventing them from surviving and replicating.
When UV light makes contact with bacteria or viruses, the resulting DNA damage triggers the microorganism to self-destruct. This makes UV light air purifiers an eco-friendly and reliable way to improve indoor air quality and reduce the risks associated with airborne pathogens for Brevard County residents and businesses alike.
