Benefits Of UV Lighting Air Purification
Aachoo! Is it indoor air allergies? Are you coming down with a cold or the flu? Is your indoor air causing 
you to cough and sneeze or even have itchy, dry skin? There are many ways in which to clean and purify the air you breath but there are benefits of UV lighting air purification that you may not have been aware of.
If you have an indoor air purification system and are fed up with how it detracts from your home decor and how noisy it is, you may want to consider a switch to a UV lighting air purification system.
Benefits Of UV Lighting Air Purification
What is a UV light air purification system consist of and how does it work?
UV — ultraviolet lighting is a safe way to remove irritating and potentially hazardous pollutants from your home. An ultraviolet light is a “short wave form of radiation” that kills myriad types of organic matter. This organic matter includes mold spors and various types of bacteria. UV lighting is not harmful to the humans or the pets in your household.
When you invest in a UV lighting air purifier system you will also usually use HEPA filters. These filters will kill the pollutants that are captured withiin them.
Are there benefits to using an ultraviolet air purification system?
Yes! And here are a few:
- Effectiveness. A UV system can effectively reduce “vegative bacteria, mold and certain types of viruses,” this is according to the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). During the times when your home is closed up you bring in bacteria and viruses on your clothing and hands and a UV system can kill those before they cause illness.
- Florida-specific benefits. Because homes in Florida are fraught with dampness and humidity we are faced with the potential for the growth of mold and mildew and the spores from that can lead to illness. A UV air purifier works well in our climate.
- Quiet efficiency. Today’s ultraviolet light air purification systems are quieter and less intrusive than are stand along air filter systems. Ideal if you want to breath clean air, but not be faced with a bulky purification system every day!
Keep in mind that not all UV purification systems are the same. You will want to check efficiency ratings as well as the effectiveness ratings of the unit you’re considering. Remember too that the EPA cautions that a UV air purification system will not reduce the dust and dust mites in the home. There are also many types of mold and bacteria that will not be impacted by the system, but having one will certainly cut back on many of the indoor air issues you may be facing.
