PRESS RELEASE - Vertical Air Solutions has announced its new UVC integrated pathogen control system. In these times of heightened awareness around the importance of clean environments, Vertical Air Solutions is accelerating availability of its new offering. The UVC light system fits into Vertical Air Solutions' air mixture chamber seamlessly, reducing the instance of powdery mildew and other pathogens.
What is the ultraviolet (UV) light?
Ultraviolet light (UV) is a form of invisible light to the human eye. It occupies the part of the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light. The sun emits ultraviolet light but most of it is absorbed by the Earth’s ozone layer.
UVC Rays
The UVC (254nm) lights are the same wavelength produced by the sun. The UVC wavelength attacks the micro-organisms on a molecular level deactivating and destroying the contaminants.
Unlike conventional lamps on the market, the VAS air purification systems use a patented process designed to deliver the maximum UV dosage to the moving air-stream.
