Germicidal ultraviolet radiation uses ultraviolet (UV)
light at the UV-C wavelength, approximately 254
nm, to modify the DNA or RNA of microorganisms
(viruses, bacteria, fungi, mites) preventing them from
reproducing thus being harmful.
In vitro studies have shown that UV-C light is able
to inactivate 99.99% of the flu virus in aerosol and
99% of the N1H1 flu. Other studies have confirmed
the germicidal action of UV-C rays on pathogens of
the Coronavirus family (SARS-HERS). (National Health
Service, report no. 25/2020).
UV-C technology is safe and eco-friendly since it does
not release waste to be disposed in the environment.
Various bodies and organizations of global
importance, such as OMS, EPA, CDC, ASHRAE,
recommend the use of UV-C rays for the disinfection
of water, air and surfaces.
Depur Air has obtained the prestigious ECM
certification which certifies its full compliance with the
EN 15714: 2019 standard for the efficiency of the
dual action of UV-C rays
and the filtration system.
