In light of COVID-19 virus Arctic air are now providing the service of germicidal uvc technology. Arctic air has been using this technology for quite some time now in clean rooms and medical centers and other contracted jobs.

the below information will help you understand a little about germicidal uvc technology.

the same technology was recently previewed on the news in the USA

the link to the video demonstrates how the light works.

what is germicidal uvc technology ?

 

 

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of light, invisible to the human eye, that exists on the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light. We are exposed to low levels of UV light from the sun’s rays every day, although much of the UV energy is absorbed by the ozone layer.

 

why use germicidal uvc technology ?

 

UVC wavelengths are between 200 and 300 nanometers, making them germicidal – meaning they are capable of inactivating microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa. This quality makes UVC energy an effective, environmentally-friendly and chemical-free way to prevent microorganisms from replicating in any environment.

 

 

Dose germicidal uvc technology destroy germs ?

 

The high energy from short wavelength UVC light is absorbed in the cellular RNA and DNA, damaging nucleic acids and preventing microorganisms from infecting and reproducing. This absorption of UVC energy forms new bonds between nucleotides, creating double bonds or “dimers.” Dimerization of molecules, particularly thymine, is the most common type of damage incurred by UVC light in microorganisms. Formation of thymine dimers in the DNA of bacteria and viruses prevents replication and inability to infect.

 

Arctic air use commercial grade equipment that is designed for hospital use making the treatment of any other environments very effective.

the use of this technology will help lower the risk of viruses been spread or caught, once a room has been treated it is up to you to keep your hygiene level up to maintain a clean environment.

it is recommended that regular treatments are to be done.

 

All staff are trained in the use of germicidal uvc technology.

 

All UVC systems are for the purpose of cleaning and sterilising your room none of these systems are for sale or to be install as a permanent solution. These system are dangerous if not used correctly and cause permanent

Harm to humans and animals.
