🟢 We Achieved Technical Validation on our First Test!
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 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...
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...
A potential ban on mercury-based UV lamps within the European Union is on the horizon. Recent regulations, aligned with the Minamata Convention on Mercury, indicate that certain mercury-containing lamps may no longer be produced or sold after 2027. Mercury is a...
While there has been advances in filtration technology, the best filtration methods only capture up to ~50% of common respiratory pathogens according to filter manufacturer's sales materials, but peer reviewed studies show significantly lower reductions in virosomes...
UV-Clear has adapted its patent-pending LED-based UV-C air sanitation technology, originally created for high-risk environments, to meet poultry’s urgent needs:
Recent research from Binghamton University confirms what industry experts have long suspected: ultraviolet light, when delivered at the right dosage, can effectively neutralize COVID-19. The study highlights the importance of precision — too little UV...
In a recent announcement, the USDA committed $1 billion to combat avian influenza in U.S. poultry flocks and ease rising egg prices. This investment supports expanded vaccination programs, enhanced biosecurity measures, and the adoption of innovative tools...
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:
By harnessing targeted UV-C light, UV-Clear offers a powerful, chemical-free method to inactivate harmful microorganisms in barns, processing facilities, and water systems. This advanced technology helps reduce reliance on antibiotics while maintaining high standards of biosecurity, all in a single, integrated solution. As antibiotic-resistant risks increase, UV-Clear stands out as a proactive measure for modern farming challenges.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) lighting is gaining attention as a method to improve indoor air quality, with recent research shaping standards like ASHRAE 241. A March 2025 article in Facilities Dive highlights a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) study, which demonstrates GUV’s ability to provide equivalent clean airflow, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional ventilation for pathogen control in buildings.
UV-Clear is proud to join governments, researchers, and organizations worldwide as a signatory of the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air. Launched during the United Nations General Assembly, the Pledge is the first international effort to formally recognize clean indoor air as a basic human right essential to health and well-being.
In the ongoing effort to monitor and control highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has issued an import alert updating restrictions on certain avian commodities from Canada....
It's true, the name can be misleading. UV-C lighting does not have the ability to 'clear' the air by any commonly understood definition of the word, at least not to your visible eye. But, it in conjunction with traditionally employed filters in HVAC...
