| Its photons have just the right wavelength to physically
destroy the DNA of microorganisms. It is a safe, tested
technology that uses lamps, similar to fluorescent tubes,
to generate UVC light to kill bacteria, viruses and mold
spores. UVC light penetrates the outer cell membrane
of the microorganism, passes through the cell body,
reaches the DNA and alters the genetic material. Without
chemicals the micro organism is destroyed and is unable
to reproduce. |
UVC is effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(TB), Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaire’s Disease),
and other airborne infectious microbes. UVC reduces
the effects of “sick building syndrome” by significantly
reducing the bacteria count in the room. Germ-Zapper is
designed to be wall mounted, above eye level, preferably
2 metres from the floor. It does not produces ozone or
other noxious fumes and will not harm building occupants
so long as there is no direct skin or eye contact with the
UVC light. “
