ultraviolet (UV) light air purifiers
Ultraviolet (UV) light air purifiers use UV light to kill or deactivate airborne pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. As air passes through the purifier, the UV light exposes microorganisms to high-energy radiation, damaging their DNA or RNA and rendering them harmless. This process helps reduce indoor air contaminants and improves air quality. UV purifiers are often used alongside filters to enhance overall effectiveness, especially in settings requiring higher hygiene standards. While effective against many microbes, they do not remove dust or chemical pollutants, so they are best part of a comprehensive air cleaning system.
