UVC light
If you have visited our webpage on air quality testing you will notice that untreated microorganisms can be a contributor to indoor air quality problems. Ultraviolet light has been empericaily tested to be effective in treating both surface and airborne pathogens, microbes and germs including virus contaminants such as covid.

Ultraviolet light as we know is present in sunlight.
Ultraviolet (UV) light falls in the range of the EM spectrum between visible light and X-rays and has wavelengths between 100 and 400 nm.

Range Name Wavelength Range / nm

UVA 315 – 400
UVB 280 -315
UVC 200- 280
Vacuum UV 100 -200

The most effective band for treating air by helping to inactivate bacteria and viruses is the UVC light band.

UV air treatment is commonly used in healthcare and laboratories but as it’s effectiveness has been studied building owners and design engineers are embracing the technology to increase productivity, reduce running costs and reduce lost time to sick days.
The sizing of ultraviolet air treatment is important and the rate of treatment for and medical facility would normally be much higher than for an office environment. There are many factors that help determine the sizing of a treatment system. Trust the team at Air Medic who with their multi disciplinary team can help with a design to suit your plant.

UVC germicidal lamps are part of the solution along with Filters, ventilation systems and energy audit/HVAC design. Please visit our other pages to get an overview of the possible opportunities to improve your building, occupant health and productivity.
