How do UV air purifiers clean the air?
The way UV-C light air purifier works is quite simple. They are designed to use UV lamps that can potentially alter the DNA of bacteria and viruses in the air and inactivate or destroy them.
We have installed a combination of UV light purifier with air filter machines which have HEPA+UV+ION filtration. As a result, the UV light of the air purifier acts together with other processes to clean the air affectively.
