Indoor air quality has become an increasingly important topic for health-conscious individuals as people spend more time indoors. Our indoor spaces, homes, offices and public buildings can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, especially in poorly ventilated areas. While we often rely on cleaning and ventilation, do these really help disinfect the area from pollutants like PM 10, PM 2.5, pollen, mold spores, pet dander and so on?
That's where UV light technology comes in.
Let's break down why UV light is such a powerful tool in purifying indoor air and tackling those hidden germs.
What exactly is UV Light?
UV or ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. You have probably heard of UV light as it is a type of electromagnetic radiation, commonly mentioned in relation to sun exposure and protection. It's the same kind of light that causes sunburn if you spend too long in the sun.
But not all UV light is the same— UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, and it's UV-C that's got the real germ-killing power. In control doses and proper applications, it has been found to be incredibly effective at killing germs, bacteria, and viruses. It works at a microscopic level, attacking the DNA of pathogens and preventing them from reproducing.
Is UV light safe?
Here's a quick reality check: when we're talking about UV-C, the UV light that disinfects should never come into direct contact with human skin or eyes human skin or eyes directly. UV-C tech is carefully used in a way that keeps humans safe—like being installed inside air purifiers or HVAC ducts, where it does its job without affecting us. So yes, it's safe when handled correctly.
