When people first see the futuristic blue hue of an ultravioet-c (UV-C) lamp, some might think ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a recent invention. Yet, knowledge of UV-C goes back well over 100 years, having gone through various phases of development. Here’s a brief history...
How UV-C Lamps Can Combat The Flu
Brace yourselves. Flu season is upon us, and roughly 20 percent of the US population will experience flu-related symptoms, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. For many of us, especially the elderly and those suffering from medical conditions, these symptoms can...
How Outpatient Surgery And Urgent Care Centers Can Halt The Spread Of Infections With UV Lamps
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), more than 75 percent of all operations in the United States are performed outside hospitals in outpatient surgery centers (OSCs). Use of urgent care centers (UCCs) is also expected to rise as the population ages and health...
UV Light Uses For Schools And Universities
Roughly 55 million students and seven million staff attend the 130,000 public and private schools each day in the United States. At any given time, each of those people are susceptible to various types of illness, many of which are communicated through the air. Ironically,...
How To Use HVAC UV Light Benefits To Reduce Disease Transmission
HVAC systems can be a blessing or a curse when it comes to disease transmission and infection control. In fact, according to ASHRAE, the transmission of infectious airborne diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and the common cold can be accelerated or controlled by a building’s...
The Science Behind UV-C Energy: UV In HVAC Systems
UV-C systems provide three levels of benefits when applied to HVAC systems.UV-C energy eliminates and/or prevents the buildup of organic material on the surfaces of cooling coils, drain pans, and interior duct surfaces. This improves airflow, returns and maintains the heat-transfer levels of cooling coils...
