Leveraging UV Light for a Healthier & Odor-Free Home
[cincopa AwIAKo92qbAG]The dreadful multistate E. coli outbreak at Chipotle, which hospitalized 21, is among a number of high profile situations underscoring the danger of—and our collective vulnerability to–bacterium-born illness. Whether you’re frequenting a restaurant, retail store, business office, sports complex or any other facility where clients, customers, business associates, patrons, visitors and even resident employees can use restroom facilities and otherwise touch shared spaces, how well that facility handles the sterilization and disinfection of indoor spaces can make or break your, and your family’s, health and well-being.
However, even at home threats persist in the form of bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other such pathogens that lurk on surfaces and in the air. Luckily, emerging technology is making the sanitation of indoor spaces much easier, quicker, more effective and less expensive than ever before. One such tech solution is to leverage the power and efficacy of Germicidal Lights and Disinfection Ultraviolet Lamps. Such UV light-based sterilizers for indoor spaces, like the full spectrum of GermAwayUV solutions offered by CureUV.com, can readily disinfect both air and surfaces in a single room or throughout an entire home—and are eco-friendly to boot. These devices also eliminate even the nastiest of odors that can permeate a home.
With all of this in mind, here are a few notable products that can help develop a healthier, safer and more pleasant-smelling household:

GermAwayUV HVAC UVC Air Sterilizer (18 Watt) – $149.00
This Ultraviolet UVC Air Purification System uses an 18 watt output for disinfection, inactivating and killing bacteria, molds, protozoa, viruses and yeasts that could otherwise be inhaled or ingested. In doing so, it provides a line of defense against the spread of airborne pathogens through a HVAC system. This unit kills as much as 70 percent of certain airborne bacteria passing by the system.
The healthcare and food manufacturing industries have been using UV germicidal energy to sanitize hospital rooms and medical equipment since the early 1900’s. The Centers for Disease Control confirms the germicidal effect of UV-C lamps, and FEMA even recommends its use for counter-bioterrorism. So, why not leverage this powerful technology at home to keep you and your family safe? Seems like a bright idea to me.
