Indoor Air Quality Facts:

• The United Nation’s World Health Organization has estimated that up to 30 percent of all office buildings worldwide suffer from sick building syndrome, affecting as many as 64 million workers in the United States.
• Levels of air pollution inside can be 2 – 5 times higher than outdoor levels.
  (Environmental Protection Agency)
• Biological pollutants promote poor IAQ & can be a major cause of days lost from work or school and of doctor & hospital visits.
  (U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission)

• The EPA ranks poor IAQ among the top 5 environmental risks to public health.
  (American Lung Association)

• More than 95% of the US general population is concerned about indoor air quality at home.

  (American Lung Association)

• Asthma accounts for 14 million missed school days annually.
  (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
• Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after or, possible, years later.
  (Environment Protection Agency)
• The most noticeable increase in operating expenses occurred in utility costs, which had a 9.29% percent increase from 2004.
  (BOMA 2006 Experience Exchange Report)
• Heating and cooling systems are the largest single consumers of energy in buildings.
  (Energy Star – EPA / DOE)
• A dirty evaporator coil or condenser coil will reduce cooling capacity and degrade equipment energy efficiency.

UVC for HVAC-Improving Indoor Air Quality

Damp, dark HVAC systems are the perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Each time the HVAC system runs, these contaminants and airborne viruses are circulated throughout the entire home. Research has shown that home occupants exposed to such contaminants can develop health issues, including sinus congestion and headaches, allergies and asthma, upper respiratory ailments, along with colds and flu.

According to the World Health Organization, ailments caused by these contaminants account for a substantial portion of absences from school and work, and can lead to lower productivity.  eco-pure products from UVDI continuously destroy contaminants in the HVAC systems, protecting building occupants and technicians.

UV energy is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-rays and is sometimes described as invisible radiation. Germicidal protection is delivered at 254 nanometers in the light spectrum and is known as UVC. Its photos have just the right wavelength to physically destroy the DNA of microorganisms. It is a safe, tested technology that uses lamps, similar to fluorescent tubes, to generate UVC light to kill bacteria, viruses and mold spores. UV light penetrates the outer cell membrane of the microorganism, passes through the cell body, reaches the DNA and alters the genetic material. Without chemicals the microorganism is destroyed and is unable to reproduce. UVC, combined with the right filter technology, is the optimal solution for cost effective and safe maintenance for HVAC systems.

The eco-pure is guaranteed to optimize HVAC performance resulting in overall lower operating costs, safety, reliability, and cleaner air.
