Facts About Ultraviolet (UV) Light

Ultraviolet light has been used for years by the medical field to sanitize rooms and equipment, and is recognized by Centers for Disease Control for its ability to effectively destroy germs and other biological pollutants. Now Biozone brings this technology to home air purification.

Ultraviolet light from the sun destroys viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other pollutants, including mold spores. Biozone UV lamps offer a much higher concentration of ultraviolet light than even the sun. UV light damages the DNA structure of the microorganism, causing its destruction. Once the UV light sterilizes the pollutant, it is no longer able to reproduce (which is how harmful microogranism levels are sustained and increased). It then becomes inactivated, or microbiologically dead, rendering it harmless. Since the ultraviolet light is only directed inside the unit, there are no potential harmful side effects.

These UV lamps treat the air that enters the Biozone chamber through the indoor environment's natural air currents, and also with its fan. Plus, Biozone uses a unique convection process to draw additional air through the unit, above and beyond what is achieved by way of natural air currents and the fan. The purified air is then blown back out with a small, quiet fan.

Biozone UV lamps are powered by 12 volt direct current (internally generated), which provides constant wattage without fluctuation. Fluctuating power has traditionally been a problem spot as far as UV light generation is concerned, but has finally been addressed with Biozone's revolutionary technology.
