Mother Nature’s Method
Ultraviolet Germicidal Light is a trusted air purifying method
used in hospitals nationwide, and ultraviolet energy is the
sun’s rays that Mother Nature uses outdoors to purify the air.
Ultraviolet lamps enable the VitalAIR UV System to produce the
natural germicidal rays that kill germs and control allergens.
Forced Air Furnaces Distribute Pollutants
Your furnace provides a perfect environment for the growth and
broadcast of bioaerosols, toxins and gases that cause the
unhealthy air conditions found in most homes. Because a
furnace is the collection point for most of the recirculated
air in a building, it is the best place for installing a
VitalAIR unit.
Governmental Agencies Acknowledge and Identify the Problem
The Environmental Protection Agency has found that indoor air
is always 2 to 5 times, and sometimes 100 times worse than the
worst outdoor air. You may not be able to see, smell or touch
it, but this air pollution is impacting the health of your
family. The American Medical Association reports that 1/3 of
our national health bill is directly attributable to indoor
air pollution.
What Are Bioaerosols?
Mold is probably the most common bioaerosol. Germs are also
known as bioaerosols or pathogens. Bioaerosols are airborne
pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold and mildew,
(micro-organisms), which cause infectious disease, They can
cause allergic rhinitis, asthma and other respiratory
ailments.
Basic Facts and Research Regarding
Ultraviolet Energy or UV Light.
The PremierOne design is based on accumulted
research data and actual experience from Westinghouse Electric
Corporation Lamp Division’s research laboratories. All
ultraviolet energy is meaured in nanameters and the
wavelengths are shorter than visible light. Therefore UV
energy is invisible to the human eye. The wavelengths of
ultraviolet generated by the PremierOne germicidal lamp are in
the 254 nm. range, making them lethal to the bioaerosols
described above.
“Mutant strains of microbials have become resistant to the
antibiotics formerly used to control them. Deaths from
infectious diseases caused by these germs is now the third
leading cause of death in the United States”
............Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
 According
to Westinghouse ©, a single UV lamp will provide a kill rate
of 70% to 85% at 1500 cfm with this lamp positioning.
The germs that escape on the first exposure will be hit again
and again until they are destroyed as the air flow carries
them through the UV radiation.
The kill rate achieved by other manufacturers
lamps may be more or less than Westinghouse ©
The kill zone of the PremierOne germicidal lamp is within 2
inches of the lamp. A kill rate of 99% is achieved at the
distance. The effective zone of the PremierOn germicidal lamp
is up to 24 inches from the lamp. Within that distance, a
micro-organism may not be killed, but single-pass exposure to
the ultraviolet energy (within 24 inches of the lamp), will
disturb its DNA (reproductive code) and stop if from
reproducing and infecting us with disease or illness.
The air in your home, along with all of the airborne
contaminants, passes through your furnace several times an
hour. This creates an accumulative effect on micro-organism
kill and DNA disruption when a PremierOne unit is properly
installed in your furnace ductwork.
