UV-Clear™, a solid-state in-duct UVC LED system, was built around the same basic premise BREATHE is now validating at the federal level: that air disinfection works best when it’s continuous and built into the infrastructure people already have, rather than bolted on as a standalone appliance.
Far UV-C lights, particularly krypton-chlorine 222 nm LED devices, are designed for in-room use to help mitigate the spread of pathogens in the air. While UV-C lighting (200-280 nm) is well-known for its germicidal properties, it also poses significant risks to human...
UV-C inactivation of mold is a highly effective method for eliminating spores in various environments. UV-C, or ultraviolet C radiation, is a type of ultraviolet light that is commonly used for disinfection purposes due to its ability to penetrate the cell walls of...
UV-C pathogen inactivation and air filtration are two distinct methods used to improve indoor air quality and reduce the spread of airborne pathogens. UV-C pathogen inactivation works by using ultraviolet light with a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers to...
A 2020 study published in Microorganisms by Shimohata et al. has revealed that carefully chosen UV-light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) can significantly reduce the infectivity of influenza A viruses (IAVs). As the authors explain:
UV-Clear’s technology harnesses these insights by employing UV-C LEDs engineered to emit at the most germicidal and safe wavelengths identified by recent research.
By leveraging the principles validated in real-world studies like this one, UV-Clear is committed to protecting occupants and fostering healthier indoor environments. Learn more about how UV-Clear’s advanced UVGI solutions can enhance your building’s air quality at uv-clear.com.
A 2025 study in Science of The Total Environment highlights UV-C technology’s effectiveness in inactivating dairy bacteriophages on surfaces, offering a valuable approach to improving sanitation in dairy processing environments.
Ultraviolet (UV) light offers a chemical-free method to disinfect air and surfaces, reducing pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Two Vox articles by Dylan Matthews explore UV germicidal irradiation (UVGI), but their enthusiasm for far-UV (207–222 nm) overshadows...
UV purification grows rapidly due to its broad efficacy, using UVC light (200-280 nm) to break microbial bonds. In bottles, it complements carbon filters; in air, UV-Clear’s dense LED arrays (3+ per sq in) ensure high-dose exposure, validated by lab trials and computational models for aerosol deactivation. Passive cooling keeps temps low, enabling continuous operation in barns.
