New web site discusses how UVC technology may help prevent bird flu

Healthcare Purchasing News, Dec, 2005

A new web site from Steril-Aire, Inc. discusses how the company's ultraviolet-C ("UVC")technology may be used preventively to control the spread of bird or avian flu in residences and buildings of all types. Steril-Aire's multi-patented UVC devices are designed for installation in air conditioning and ventilation systems in buildings and homes.

The UVC energy emitted by these devices typically destroys more than 90 percent of flu viruses and other microbes with each air change. UVC works by destroying the DNA and RNA of microorganisms and is therefore effective against all types of flu microbes. In addition, it may be used to control other viruses including colds, SARS, measles and German measles; and infectious bacteria including TB, Legionella, pneumonia and whooping cough. It can also greatly reduce allergy-asthma symptoms caused by mold and mold spores.Web site www.uvckillsbirdflu.com.
