UV Lights and Coronavirus: Can Germicidal Lights Help Stop the Spread of COVID-19?
The answer is: Maybe, we believe so. Recent research has already shown that germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light plays a role in preventing the airborne transmission of viruses like influenza. Although the novel coronavirus has only been around a few months and no research has been done on the effects of germicidal lights in combatting the virus, it only makes sense that if the power of light can kill the flu virus it can also kill coronavirus should it enter your living space. Top Notch offers solutions for healthier indoor air, including powerful solutions like germicidal UV lights that work in tandem with your heating and cooling systems.
How do germicidal UV lights work?
Viruses, bacteria, mold, pet dander and other tiny biological contaminants can settle on surfaces and circulate through your home’s air. These organisms build up inside your HVAC system and get thrown out into the air you breathe. By killing germs that may live on ducts or coil surfaces, germicidal lights keep your furnace and A/C clean and running at peak performance.
Easily installed in your ductwork (portable options also available – see below), these UV lights control and eliminate contaminants no matter how small. Powerful rays of ultraviolet light penetrate the cell wall of biological contaminants, damaging their physiological structure so they can no longer grow, multiply and spread throughout your home. Even when your system isn’t running, germicidal UV lights are working continuously to keep your home safe so you can breathe easier.
Are UV lights safe in preventing the COVID-19 virus?
Today’s germicidal UV light technology for home use is short-range and completely safe for human skin and eyes, and it does not emit ozone which can harm the lungs. Top Notch UV lights offer the highest UVC intensity on the market today. Exposure to germicidal UV lights and far-UVC lights are safe for people and pets but potentially lethal to viruses in the air.
