A UV air purifier can kill certain microorganisms and even keep others from reproducing by destroying their DNA. In addition, UV air purifiers can help your keep winter colds, viruses, and other bacteria from spreading. They can also help prevent pests like dust mites. Unlike harmful UVA or UVB light that causes sunburns, UV air purifiers use what's known as UVC light. Some air purifiers use these UV lamps to add an additional layer of filtration and protection to a traditional air purifier. Ultraviolet light has a long history of use in the medical field. Still, only more recently has UV light been used in air purifiers or paired with titanium dioxide to create a type of photocatalytic oxidation that breaks down chemical vapors and VOCs. Additionally, UV light is an established method of disinfecting scientific and medical equipment as well as entire rooms where sanitation is crucial. Regardless of which UV air purifier you have, it's imperative that the bulbs or lamps be replaced annually or as needed. This will ensure that your UV air purifier is running efficiently and helping to create a cleaner breathing environment. Shop our selections of UV air purifier replacement bulbs below!
