Would air purifiers or UVC light systems help reduce airborne contaminants?
Air Purifiers:
- HEPA filters capture >99.95% of particles down to 0.3 μm
- Carbon filters remove gases, odours, and VOCs
- Can reduce PM levels by 50-80%
- Improve respiratory and cardiovascular health
UVC Light Systems:
- Far-UVC (222 nm) inactivates airborne microorganisms
- UVC in HVAC systems can reduce infection risk by up to 90%
Important note: These technologies compliment but do not replace proper ventilation. For optimal indoor air quality, use air purifiers and/or UVC systems in conjunction with a well-maintained ventilation system. Proper ventilation is crucial for introducing fresh air and removing stale air, which these technologies alone cannot achieve.
