Nano UV Technology
What Makes A Nano UV Light Different
From Other UV Lights?
UV Disinfecting Lights have been used in hospitals to disinfect surfaces for a long time. These lights only emit UV-C light which is a specific wavelength of light that kills germs by destroying their DNA, but it takes a long time, 5 minutes to an hour and uses a lot of power. 'Nano UV Light' is brand new Technology, it emits UV-A and UV-C light which destroys the DNA on multiple levels and in dramatically less time than UV-C light alone. In turn, it uses much less power allowing portability.
The germicidal effect of Nano UV light is so powerful, in the first 5 seconds of exposure to UV-A and UV-C light, 80% of targeted microorganisms* are killed. In the next 5 seconds of exposure, 99% of targeted microorganisms* on the surface are killed.
Destruction of the Microorganisms
The destruction of microogranisms by germicidal Nano-UV rays is accomplished quickly and effectively. The Nano-UV light strikes the various microorganisms and they break through the outer membrane. The radiation reaches the heart of the microorganisms (their DNA) where it causes instant modifications. The Modified DNA transmits incorrect messages and this impairment actually brings about destruction of the microorganisms.

Does it Work? Yes, thousands of references to this efficacy can be found in literature and in actual applications. One is the cooperative Extended Abstract from NIOSH and the University of Cincinnati wherein UVC was tested. Along with this is the Tulsa University study conducted at the Public Service Company of Oklahoma wherein a two-log (99%) reduction of surface and airborne mold was achieved using UVC Emitters. UVC is used worldwide, more in other countries per capita than in the US.
*Targeted microorganisms include bacteria: E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Salmonella Typhimurium ,and viruses: H1N1 |
