UV-C ultraviolet rays are electromagnetic waves with germicidal properties. Their wavelength ranges from 100 to 280 nm and their maximum effectiveness occurs at the wavelength of 265 nm. UV-C rays have a destructive effect on RNA and DNA of bacteria, mold, yeasts and viruses, preventing their proliferation. Germicidal lamps emit light at 254 nm, approximately 85% of maximum efficiency and are ozone-free. Ultraviolet (UV) purification is a very effective method to clean the environment of biological pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, molds, mites and fungal spores. Lighting devices with germicidal...

How germicidal UV-C lamps work? Precautions for the use of germicidal lamps UV-C radiation has a photolytic effect on DNA and RNA, thus preventing microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, yeasts and viruses from reproducing. The purification effect is obtained with wavelengths less than 320 nm, with maximum efficiency at 260nm. For the elimination of microorganisms with UV-C rays, they must be on the surface of an object or transported by air. Each microorganism needs a different UV-C dose for its inactivation or elimination. Among the various universally recognized documents, the one produced...

The amount of UV-C radiation needed to destroy microorganisms is given by a mathematical formula: Using the data reported by the CIE (Internation Commission on Illumination) body on the effect of UV-C radiation in microorganisms, it is possible to obtain what is the necessary dose of UV-C to eradicate 99% of the most common viruses, bacteria, molds and spores. A recent research, led by a team of scientists from the University of Milan, in collaboration with experts from the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) and the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy of the National Cancer...

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES Vision UV For a 18 m² room we use VISION UV 1X55W, installing it at a height of 2.5 m. To destroy 99% of SARS-COV-2 (169 J / m²) we have to let it run 1207,14 seconds (about 20 minutes). 169 (J / m²) / 0,14 = 1207,14s = 20mins For particularly resistant organisms (see table) it is sufficient to increase the exposure time, for example after about 28 minutes even the most resistant spores will be knocked down. To identify the number of appliances required for air treatment in relation to the size of the premises in m², consult the following tables:

Moovi UV For a 25m² room we use MOOVI UV 2X55W, installed it in the center of the room. At a distance of 2,5 m, to destroy 99% of SARS-COV-2 (169 J / m²) we must leave it running. 169 (J / m²) / 0,35 = 482,85s = 8,04mins For particularly resistant organisms (see attached table) it is sufficient to increase the exposure time, for example after about 12 minutes even the most resistant spores will be knocked down. Time needed to break down 99% of the most resistant microorganisms: Impact UV For an 18 m² room we use IMPACT UV 1X36W, installing it on the ceiling at a maximum height of 3 m. To destroy...

SANITIZING LIGHT Sanitation according to nature The air in nature is purified from mold, bacteria and viruses thanks to the active action of the ions generated by the sun, wind and the motion of the seas. On average, in the mountains we find a concentration of 15,000 ions / cm3, at the sea 50,000 ions / cm3, while in homes the value is drastically reduced to less than 100 ions / cm3. Thanks to the introduction of bipolar ion generation technology, Atena Lux combines the lighting experience with the sanitization of environments, creating a new product concept, created to be installed in homes,...
