The HEPA filter traps airborne particles. These filters were developed by the Atomic Energy Commission to filter radioactive particles. They can trap 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
UV lamp destroys airborne micro-organisms by using ultraviolet waves to alter their DNA as the air passes them over the lamp.
Maximum protection from mold and mold mycotoxins:
Mold is a major problem particularily in locations with a warm humid climate or interior spaces with higher moisture levels.
Mold can cause symptoms such as sinus headaches, loss of energy, lowered immunity levels, allergies, and asthma. Some molds emit highly toxic mycotoxins that are potent carcinogens.
The AllerAir 5000 Exec UV kills mold:
The AllerAir 5000 Exec UV MAC-B carbon bed filter adsorbs mold mycotoxins and the HEPA filter traps the mold spores which the UV lamp then kills.
Sterilization of airborne viruses and bacteria:
AllerAir UV air cleaners are used in clinics, laboratories but also in other places where hygiene is a concern such as kitchens, day-care centers and seniors residences.
A useful tool for people with lowered immunity:
Airborne micro-organisms are always with us, but for people with immune deficiencies the dangers are critical. An AllerAir 5000 Exec UV will substantially lower the bacteria count in the air.
