Asthma and Allergy Relief

UV-C Light removes allergens from surfaces of stuffed animals

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, air in homes is as much as 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. These pollutants can cause the immune system to overreact producing allergy symptoms, inflaming mucous membranes, causing upper respiratory distress, asthmatic outbreaks and chronic head-aches.

UV-C light sterilizes pollutants by penetrating the membranes of viruses, bacteria, mold and dust mites and dismantles their reproductive capabilities. The result is to effectively eliminate the allergy and disease-causing microbes living and multiplying on surfaces inside your home.

Light disinfection has been used in hospitals, food processing facilities, water treatment and HVAC systems for over 30 years.The technology is proven and recognized by the FDA, EPA and USDA as valid and effective means of eliminating biological contaminants.
UV-C’s natural disinfectant properties have the added benefit of being chemical free, odor-less and producing no environmental side-effects.
Chemical cleaners can often be a contributor to Allergy and Asthma outbreaks, starting a cascading immuno-response that can lead to a severe reaction.
The following documents further outline the testing and effectiveness of UV-C light in the prevention of Allergic and Asthmatic reactions to indoor pollutants.
