UV in Office HVAC

• Study of 772 workers in 3 office

buildings

• UV light (245-266 nm) was

associated with significant (99%) reduction of microbial and endotoxin concentrations on irradiated cooling coils and drip pans in the HVAC system, and with a reduction in airborne microbial and endotoxin in supply air and a reduction in surface contamination at work locations.

• Workers reported significantly fewer

building-related respiratory and mucosal symptoms under the UV condition.

Menzies, et al. 2003. The Lancet, 362, 9398, 1785-179. And they listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some

UV-C peaks around 254-262 nm.

• Rooms must be unoccupied

because some wavelengths of UV-C can cause skin cancer and eye damage.

Menzies, et al. 2003. The Lancet, 362, 9398, 1785-179. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
