How to clean the air of viruses and germs in an apartment or office?

Cleanliness in the house is the key to health. It is important not only to clean the premises from dust and litter, but also to disinfect the air from pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, it is best to kill bacteria and viruses without harm to human health.

Closed Decontaminator

During the Soviet Union, a quartz lamp was popular with city dwellers. This is an ultraviolet lamp that burns out all living organisms with its radiation. But this design is dangerous not only for germs and viruses. Hard exposure may also affect the person himself. Direct ultraviolet leaves burns on the skin. For this reason, people are asked to leave the room where the quartz lamp is standing and working.

Modern closed-type decontaminators are the same ultraviolet lamps, only hidden in a protective case. The air enters them forcibly. It is sucked by a special pump. It passes into the apparatus, where it is irradiated and disinfected. Then the already purified air goes back into the room.

Closed disinfectors are called recirculators. Since they drive air masses through themselves using the recirculation method. Such devices have a lot of advantages, compared to a conventional quartz lamp:

It can be used indoors with children. The device works in the "background" mode, without exerting a negative impact on the health of households.

The recirculator is conveniently placed in a room with a sick person. If someone in the family gets the flu or another viral infection, they need to be quarantined in a separate room. I use a closed type disinfector, there is no need to move from one room to another, for disinfection. The patient will remain in his bed.

The closed-type device, unlike a quartz lamp, cleans a larger volume of air. It works in an active mode when it drives air masses through itself. The ultraviolet lamp only works on the visible area of ​​the room. She does not let in all the air in the room.

Recirculators are convenient to use not only in your own home, but also in the office or in the workplace. Where there are many people who cannot leave the room for the disinfection procedure.
