UVC Light - What is it?

Ultraviolet light is a natural part of everyday sunlight. It is an essential part of the light spectrum.

UVC light is known as the “germicidal bandwidth” and is a proven antimicrobial agent used in a wide variety of purification and sanitization processes. Just outside the visible light spectrum, UVC light has been used safely in hospitals, clinics and laboratories for more than 60 years. UVC sanitizing light has been used very effectively to sterilize surgical equipment, water and the air in operating rooms. Other industrial uses include food and drug companies use of germicidal lamps to disinfect various types of product containers. Now, Verilux brings this proven technology to the home.

How does it work? The science of UV-C light.

Ultraviolet rays with wavelengths shorter than 300 nm are extremely effective in killing bacteria and viruses. The most effective sterilizing range is within the C bandwidth of the UV light range (UVC). Short-wave ultraviolet light (UVC) works by destroying the DNA of microorganisms like bacteria, mold, viruses and dust mites. These compounds break down when exposed to high intensity UV at 240 to 290 nm. UVC's effectiveness is directly related to intensity and exposure time.

UV rays must strike the contaminants directly in order to penetrate the microorganism and break down its molecular bonds. This bond breakage translates into cellular or genetic damage – rendering the germs harmless by robbing them of their ability to reproduce.

Spring Cleaning without the Chemicals

Did you know that your home contains more deadly chemicals than most laboratories did just 50 years ago?

Many of the contents of the common cleaners in your home have been found to be extremely hazardous to the health of children and adults. The ALL PURPOSE CLEANSERS you use to clean counters and floors can contain the following:

Ammonia: known to cause kidney and liver damage
Butyl cellusolve: a neurotoxin that rapidly penetrates the skin
Ortho phenyl phenol: a severe eye and skin irritant
Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA): these react with nitrites in other cleansers to develop carcinogenic nitrosamines
Coal tar: known carcinogen often used to color or tint products
Paraben: hormone disrupting chemical, used as a preservative

And, when you spray those AIR FRESHENERS around your home, they often contain:

Formaldehyde: Highly toxic, known carcinogen
Ethoxylated nonyl phenol: skin contact can cause swelling, burning, peeling, circulatory collapse, coma and even death
Naphthalene: a suspected carcinogen
Xylene: a neurotoxin
Butane gas: as a propellent, also a neurotoxin
Paradichlorobenzene: a carcinogen often present in solid deodorizers

Don’t expose your family to these chemicals one more day. Switch to the chemical-free way to sanitize your home, Verilux's clean, powerful UVC Light!
