Consider An Ultraviolet Air Purifier

Purification by ultraviolet light has been around since before World War II but has remained unknown by the general public. UV light purifies the water in just about every water treatment plant around and it is with that same technology that UV light is being used to purify the air. UV-C light has shown to kill viruses, bacteria and mold by constantly emitting UV energy.

One model of UV air purifier is manufactured by CaluTech. Their Blueray, Super High Output Germicidal UV Light (model # ATHO60) is new for the 2010 year. This purifier produces more UV germicidal light than the sun and is great for any home or office that is sized between 1,000 and 4,000 square feet. This model is available as a plug in system or can be hardwired. The plug in cord model is available in 120V, while the hard wired can be either 220V, 230V, 240V or 280V. This ultraviolet air purifier uses two dual high output 60 watt UVC lamps, has advanced EOL circuitry that safely removes the power from the UV lamps and contains no PCBs. The housing on this unit is aluminum alloy and it qualifies for free UPS ground shipping.

There are many manufacturers of air purifiers besides CaluTech. Others include Austin AIr, Bionaire, Hunter and IQAir. Prices range from $130.00 to $450.00, depending on model and manufacturer.

As with any product it is important to be aware of any and all strengths and weaknesses before making any type of purchase. Some strengths of using an ultraviolet air purifier is that it is good for getting rid of bacteria, viruses, mold and germs, is quiet to operate and requires little maintenance. Just remember that an ultraviolet air purifier will not remove dust, pollen, smoke and odors. The EPA estimates that indoor air pollutants may be anywhere from two to five times higher than outdoor pollutants and that indoor air quality is among the five largest environmental risks to the public. With the majority of people spending at least 90% of their time indoors, considering an air purifying system might just be one of the smartest decisions you've ever made.
