The Benefits of UV Air Purifiers

You may already know that the use of air purifiers can remove unhealthy particulate matter from the air in your home. Most of this particulate matter is so small, the naked eye cannot see it. Air purifiers work to remove dust, dander, mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses and more from your living environment. One of the newest innovations out there today are UV air purifiers. Read on to find out more about the different types of UV air purifiers available and how they can help you.

UV, or ultraviolet light, is able to destroy microscopic particles in the air that can be harmful to your health. When these particles meet the UV rays that are emitted by the purifier, their genetic cellular makeup is damaged and the particles are destroyed. You might be aware that UV rays can be harmful to humans, but these purifiers are specially designed to be safe. The UV rays are contained inside the purifier and destroy the contaminants in the air as it is circulated through the purifier.

There are purifiers that only use UV technology, and others that use UV technology in addition to either ionic or HEPA technology. For example, the Professional Series Ionic Breeze GP Silent Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Protection not only utilizes ionic technology, but germ-killing UV light as well.

Another example of an air purifier with UV capacities is the Hamilton Beach TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier with UV Germicidal Light. This purifier uses a HEPA filter, which captures 99.97 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns in size. This means that particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye are effectively captured. Also, as the air circulates through the purifier, the UV light destroys viruses, bacteria, mold spores and other germicidal materials.

When choosing UV air purifiers, you will probably want to go with either a HEPA or ionic purifier that has UV capacities. This gives you more layers of protection and extra assurance that the air in your home is clean, pure and safe to breathe. People who suffer from allergies often find that the use of these types of purifiers dramatically decrease their uncomfortable symptoms. Buying an air purifier, whether it has UV capacities or not, is buying peace of mind, and better health for you and your family!
