This is a replacement UV-C germicidal light for AlorAir HEPA Pro 870/970 and HEPA Max 870/970 air scrubbers. UV-C light covers wavelengths of 100nm to 280nm and is used for microbial control.
The most effective range for destroying microorganisms is 200nm to 280nm, which falls within the UV-C band. UV-C light damages bacteria at a cellular level by destroying their DNA or RNA structure, so they can no longer reproduce. It also works on "superbugs," pathogens that have developed resistance to modern medicine and are hard to eliminate with chemical sprays.
UV sanitizing wands have been tested to eliminate 100% of several types of bacteria commonly found on surfaces within 5 seconds. They inactivate 90% of hardy spore-forming bacteria in 40 seconds. UV-C devices can serve as an alternative to chemicals for disinfecting surfaces.
