Will ultraviolet light kill mold, bacteria and viruses?
Air Quality of NM - FAQMost definitely. The EPA and Homeland Security have tested the Bio-Wall and on a single pass, it killed 93% of anthrax surrogate, 99.97% of spore-producing bacteria and 99% of a common hospital virus.
How does UV light and the advanced oxidation process kill bacteria and viruses?
Air, water and food systems from EnviroTech Group ? a distri...UV light kills the bacteria by attacking the DNA of a cell preventing cellular division. It attacks the RNA in viruses (preventing replication). Ozone ruptures the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria cells "lysing" the cell wall. It attacks the RNA in viruses (preventing replication). PHI cells combines both methods. See similar questions...
What are dust mites?
FAQHouse dust mites are microscope bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets. Skin cells and scales, commonly called dander, are often concentrated in lounging areas, mattresses, frequently used furniture which may harbor large numbers of these microscopic mites. A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic.

How does ultraviolet light purify water?
Water Filters, Purifiers, and Purification FAQUV-C rays penetrate the cells of harmful bacteria and viruses in our drinking water, destroying their ability to reproduce. Without this ability, these organisms die and no longer pose a health threat. It is a simple but very effective process, with the system generally destroying 99.99% of harmful microorganisms. See similar questions...
How does ultraviolet light kill biological and chemical contaminants?
Air Purifications FAQ'sUltraviolet light has four principal wavelengths: UV-A, UV-B, UV-C and UV-V. Fresh Air Concepts uses a patented "J" Lamp, which produces UV-C and UV-V light. UV-C is short-wave radiation. This wavelength's primary uses are for the destruction of bacteria and other microorganisms that pass through the Aluminum Chamber. The Centers for Disease Control recommends this method for destroying viruses such as Tuberculosis. See similar questions...

What are dust mites and why do they cause allergies?
FAQ's - Allergy-MDDust mites are eight-legged microscopic creatures, members of the arachnid family, which include spiders, chiggers, ticks and scorpions. They feed on such things as dead skin that sloughs from our bodies, pollen, and animal dander, and can be found in carpeting, furniture, bedding and dust. The protein contained in both the mites and their droppings is what causes allergies in some people. This happens when they come in contact with the skin or are inhaled. See similar questions...
What is UV-C light and how does it kill bacteria?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSUV-C is the invisible, ultraviolet, C-band radiation that makes up part of the sun's light spectrum. By altering the DNA and RNA and effectively sterilizing the organisms, the UV-C light prevents growth and germination of microorganisms. Once sterilized, they cannot reproduce and with their short life cycles, they are successfully killed. See similar questions...
How does the UV light actually kill microorganisms?
Frequently Asked QuestionsUV does not kill microorganisms like chlorine does, but instead UV inactivates them. UV light at a specific wavelength of 254 nm is readily absorbed by the genetic material of microorganisms. The DNA strand is coded with a specific sequence of something called base pairs. The sequence of these base pairs codes for certain characteristics. UV light at 254 nm is readily absorbed at the point on the microorganism's DNA strand which codes for reproduction. See similar questions...
What is ultraviolet light?
EyeCare Information on Eye ConditionsUltraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light and therefore has more energy. UV can be divided into three groups according to wavelength, UV, UVB, and UVC. UVA has been shown to penetrate the lower layers of skin, and is associated with aging. UVB can cause keratitis, and is associated with cataracts. UVC is the shortest wavelength and is almost entirely blocked by the upper atmosphere. Sunglasses, which protect against these three types of UV light are essential equipment. See similar questions...
HOW DOES NANO-TiO2 PROTECT AGAINST BACTERIA AND VIRUSES?
MCH Nano Solutions - Frequently Asked QuestionsMicro-organisms carry a negative charge while TiO2 coated surface carries a positive charge. This creates an "electromagnetic" attraction between the microbe and treated surface. Once contact is made, the microbe is oxidized and dies instantly. See similar questions...
What exactly is ultraviolet light?
CaluTech Blue - Ultraviolet Clean Air UV Air PurifiersUltraviolet light is an invisible light (to humans) but many insects can see it (known as phototactic eye sight). UV light emits at different levels called nanometers (a unit of measurement that is one billionth of a meter). Ultraviolet light is separated into three common spectrums. UVA operates between 315 and 400 nanometers (nm). These are known as black lights and many insect zappers use this UV lamp to attract insects to the zapper because the insects think the light they see is the sun. See similar questions...
Where do dust mites live?
Dust Mites FAQThey flourish in warm, humid environments like your bed and survive by feeding off dead human skin cells and animal dander. Dust mite populations increase rapidly; each egg-laying female can increase the population by 25 or 30 mites a week, and depending on its age, your bed may house between 100,000 and 10,000,000 dust mites. Dust mites also live in carpet, upholstery, and stuffed toys. (Buy washable toys and wash them frequently to prevent dust mite infestation.) See similar questions...
How does Airfree destroy dust mites?
Airfree FAQ'sMold reduction in the atmosphere causes a reduction in the mold dependant dust mite population. Airfree also destroys the harmful toxins and fungus freed by dust mite feces that trigger respiratory allergies. See similar questions...
