Understanding the UV Air Purifier

If you are an allergy sufferer, you may have heard that a UV air purifier can help with your condition. This is certainly true. Molds, fungi, spores, even dust mites and their feces can all be removed from the air. In addition to this, an ultraviolet light air purifier can help keep you from coming down with common illnesses such as a cold. Here is an overview of how a UV air purifier works, and certain issues you should be aware of.

An important factor in the effectiveness of a UV air purifier is the wattage of the bulb and the amount of time the air is exposed to the UV light. Typically the higher the wattage the better, especially in high air flow areas. The light can kill most airborne bacteria and viruses instantly. Even the stronger and more resistant ones will die or be so damaged that they are harmless with any kind of significant exposure to the UV light. You do have to replace the bulb, usually about once a year. This time frame can vary with bulb quality, but regardless the bulbs will have to be replaced regularly. Look for a unit that has bulbs you can get quickly and easily and that are not a hassle to replace.

As well as directly targeting contaminants in the air, the UV light will stimulate the oxygen and water in the air to start a chemical reaction that will form hydroxyl and ozone. Hydroxyl is very effective at breaking down organic material and can literally strip out the harmful chemicals in the air and take out the things that most commonly cause allergic reactions. This means that the airborne allergens that are causing your problems are eliminated and you should be able to breathe free and easy without symptoms.

In a UV light air purifier there are no filters, just an area where the air is treated by the light. This does not mean that a UV light air purifier cannot be used with a traditional air filter. By placing the two systems together you have a very effective method for combating the airborne pathogens that cause problems for everyone.

This should give you a basic understanding of how a UV air purifier works and why one can be beneficial to you. They have many benefits for removing and destroying allergenic materials. Anywhere that you have these kinds of pathogens is a great place for a UV air purifier.

There are several different types of air purifiers on the market, from UV technology to the electronic air purifier. Find out how to get the the best model for your needs at Home Air Purifiers: The Facts.
