Reduce Allergies, Add UV to Your A/C System
| More than 60,000,000 people in the United States are affected by allergies. Mold is one of the 5 most common of allergens. The dark, cool and moist surfaces that typically exist in HVAC systems are very favorable places for mold growth. The spores released from the growth are distributed throughout the structure. Applying UV light in these vulnerable areas can make a huge difference in the spore counts in the air. | In regions where the air is typically drier and mold growth is less of a problem, UV applied in the recirculating air stream passing through an HVAC system can make a significant reduction in the mold spore counts in indoor air. By reducing the density of mold spores, the indoor air quality is enhanced and allergy symptoms reduced.
