Do any of the other products filter uv rays?

FAQ

What exactly are UV rays?

FAQs: Sunglasses, Types of Sunglasses and Buying Sunglasses ...
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are located just past the violet portion of the visible light spectrum; sunlight is the main source. UV light is broken into three different types: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA has longer wavelengths and passes through glass easily; experts disagree about whether or not UVA damages the eyes. UVB rays are the most dangerous, making sunglasses and sunscreen a must; they don't go through glass. UVC rays do not reach the Earth because its atmosphere blocks them.

When do UV rays affect my eyes?

FAQs: Sunglasses, Types of Sunglasses and Buying Sunglasses ...
Most people think that they're only at risk when they're outside on a sunny day, but UV light can go right through clouds, so it doesn't matter if the sky is overcast. The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 2 pm. Glare and reflections can give you trouble, so have your sunglasses ready if you'll be around snow, water or sand, or if you'll be driving (windshields are a big glare source).

Do I have to remove my UV filter when I want to use another filter, such as a polarizer?

Frequently asked questions on polarizers and UV filters
It is not necessary to remove your UV filter when you're going to use any other filter you may have, but it won't do any harm. Some filters, like polarizers, do cause image degradation because of their construction. This degradation is usually more than the degradation already caused by the UV filter, so in those cases you do not really have to remove the UV filter. On the other hand, you run the risk of light being 'trapped' between the two filters, thus causing lighter spots on your picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several safety measures protect service technicians and homeowners from eye or skin UV exposure, including a lamp shutoff switch, and a sight glass for safe and easy lamp inspection. A protective cover with a safety interlock switch immediately deactivates the lamp before the service technician or homeowner can access or service the unit. The effectiveness of germicidal UV-C is limited once molds, which are more resistant to UV energy than airborne bacteria, have already formed on surfaces.

If a filter can take out Chlorine, can it also take out Trihalomethanes (disinfection by-products)?

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Drinking Water Systems
Our Drinking Water Systems have been tested and certified to reduce Chlorine and Trihalomethanes. However, not all filters certified to reduce Chlorine can reduce Trihalomethanes (although some disreputable companies would have you believe so!). Chlorine is a substance that is relatively easy to remove. But, chlorine that has interacted with organic material to form Trihalomethanes (thus having a completely different molecular structure) is extremely difficult to remove.

What effect does an UV or skylight filter have on taking pictures?

Frequently asked questions about polarizers and UV filters
First of all, it will filter out most of the UV light. A skylight filter will also colour your pictures a little. Because the UV is filtered out, you may notice the sky in your pictures is not as deep blue as it used to be. This is because the UV component is now missing, resulting in another kind of blue on your pictures. Just try a few pictures with and without filter and see what you like best.
