What is the importance of UV light products for indoor environments? When people spend over 90% of their time indoors with little or no ventilation, pathogenic organisms can multiply and cause the spread of any number of diseases. With deaths being caused by legionella molds and with increased cases of tuberculosis and AIDS, controlling the growth and spread of these and other pathogens is of major concern particularly in office buildings, hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, jails, and homes. Indoor air quality experts are of the opinion that controlling airborne microorganisms is the next major challenge of the industry. What is UV Light? UV stands fro Ultra-Violet light.
