Unleash the Power of Hydroxyls to Sanitize Air

Hydroxyls and their power to Sanitize the air

Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a technology that uses ultraviolet light to trigger a chemical reaction that produces hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can break down a wide range of pollutants and pathogens.

UV-PCO air purifiers are becoming increasingly popular as people look for ways to improve indoor air quality. PCO occurs when UV light, interacting with catalysts, humidity, and ambient oxygen creates charged particles that attack pathogens.

Ultraviolet irradiation of air can reduce infection

According to a recent study, hydroxyls can significantly reduce the level of airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. In addition, hydroxyls have been shown to break down a wide range of organic compounds, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors.

If you are looking for a way to improve the quality of your indoor air, consider using a UV-PCO air purifier. By producing hydroxyl radicals, these devices can effectively sanitize your air and reduce the risk of infection.

Using Hydroxyls to Sanitize the air

CDC states that ultraviolet irradiation of air is an effective means of reducing the transmission of airborne bacteria and viral infections in hospitals. One study found that using photocatalytic oxidation to generate hydroxyl radicals can reduce the level of airborne bacteria by up to 90%.

The study also found that hydroxyls are effective against a wide range of viruses, including influenza and herpes simplex virus. In addition, hydroxyls have been shown to break down mold spores, VOCs, and odors.

 

Examples of how hydroxyls have been used to effectively sanitize the air.

The Science of Outdoor Air  

Outdoors, air particles, and sunlight collide to create hydroxyls, particles known as "Nature's Detergent". Hydroxyls constantly clean outdoor air, making it pure, fresh, and healthy. Our HydroClear Technology™ creates hydroxyls in the same concentration as outdoor air, bringing Nature's air-cleaning particles TO indoor environments.

 

 Food Plant Safety: Food manufacturers and indoor food growers recognize and employ hydroxyl generators as a safe and effective means of sanitizing the air, surfaces, and other resources. Hydroxyls seek out and destroy airborne and surface-based pathogens, mold, bacteria, viruses, and VOCs.

 

Ultraviolet irradiation of air can reduce infection by killing bacteria and viruses. Studies have shown that hydroxyl radicals, which are produced when UV light reacts with catalysts, humidity, and oxygen, can significantly reduce the level of airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. In addition, hydroxyls have been shown to break down a wide range of organic compounds, including VOCs and malodors.

If you are looking for a way to improve the quality of your indoor air, consider using a UV-PCO air purifier. By producing hydroxyl radicals, these devices can effectively sanitize your air and reduce the risk of infection.
