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.
