Allergies At Home or At the Office Ultraviolet Ventilation Filtration

As the fast and growing community develop, our mother Earth itself becomes less hospitable, and even more a dangerous to live for ourselves and our families. We are not even totally safe, immune and protected in our homes. 80% of the airs we breathe are unhealthy because it contains numerous air pollutants and contaminants due to cigarettes, germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and chemical gases. People of today may suffer dizziness, irritability, sneezing, depression, and coughing.
Physicians are now developing new solutions to these problems resulting from poor air quality, air pollutants and atmospheric pollution. Although you might think that simple masks or electronic air filtrations systems are enough - they are not adequate by any or all means. It’s like putting dirty water through a paper filter. The water may be clean of particulate matter. However for all your intensive purposes you would not want to drink that water, bathe in it or use it for your coffee or tea. Filtration is not enough to reduce the number of pollutants present in the air. Filters do not reduce odor but they only help pathogens like bacteria and molds to grow. However, germicidal ultra-violet air has been proven efficient in preventing the spread of infection inside the operating room like measles, influenza, smallpox and tuberculosis.
Millions of people suffering from sick building syndrome (SBS) could be treated if UV lights if they were installed in office ventilation systems. It can kill germs present in the environment to avoid aliment at work like breathing difficulties, headaches, sore throats, itchy eyes, and stuffy nose. One factor stimulating this syndrome is the increase usage of air conditioning in offices today. Researchers from Montreal Chest Institute in Canada experimented utilizing three separate different, offices in the city using UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) in the ventilation systems of the building. They analyzed reports of illness when lights were switched on compare to the sickness rates when lights were off. Study showed better results and reduced almost 20% of all the symptoms. However, 40% were complaints about respiratory problems but there was 30% reduction of stuffy noses complaints.
It is well known clinically and scientifically, as well as in the heating and air conditioning ventilation trades - that UV light itself is harmful to bacteria, fungi and viruses such as influenza and Swine Flu and thus can destroy these germs and pathogens that are so present in the local office environment. It’s all about prevention. Numerous diseases and environmentally spread illness and diseases can be snapped in the bud. Hence lower incidence and prevalence of diseases at work, such as headaches, sore throats, stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. The result less “sick time” and time booked off due to illness, and higher productivity and even business office profits and profit rates. Researchers from Montreal Chest Institute in Canada conducted an experiment using Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) on three offices in the city. They installed UVGI in ventilation system of the buildings. Study shows 20% reductions of all the symptoms when UV light is turned on. Yet, the remaining 40% were complaints on respiratory problem but there was a 30% reduction of stuffy nose cases. Scientists proved that Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) can kill bacteria and molds in ventilation system. Cheap installation cost but huge in effect, like sickness rate reduction among employees. UVGI can also help several companies to save cost in paying sick employees. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is approved by many government and private agencies like Centers of Disease Control, the Air Institute of Respiratory Education and the Air & Waste Management Association. It is also used by several health care facilities to sterilize operating rooms and medical equipments.
Embedding UV lights at home ventilation system is important. It will avoid spores and dust mites that can trigger asthma. Modern homes at Canada are now sealed to maintain heat, as well as electrical cost. Dust mites typically lie in beddings and hot water cleaning is the only way to eliminate them. On the other hand, embedding UV light on your ventilation system can aid in reducing asthma, plus a lesser energy cost used in washing beddings. UV light units have plastic case, UV tube, and light indicator. A durable gasket is included at the back of the base to avoid UV light to escape. UV light also has two light probes with different functionality. The longer probe is use to kill airborne microorganisms, while the other light tube is designed to prevent molds on air conditioner evaporator coils. Molds can affect smell on office or home ventilation system, and it can contribute to frequent occurrence of allergic reaction. UV lights last for three to four years. No matter what the cost, UV light has a huge contribution in family’s health.
