WHAT IS UVC-RADIATION? Ultraviolet (UV) light is short-wave light. The most common form of UV radiation is sunlight, which can be divided into three general types of UV rays. UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC radiation has a wavelength of 100-280 nm. It’s uses include elimi- nation of bacteria, mould, yeast, etc. and deactivating viruses in the air. This is why we use UVC radiation in our air • CARE products. More spe- cifically, the elimination takes place when the electromagnetic energy of the UVC rays damage the DNA & RNA of the micro-organisms to such an extent that they cannot replicate themselves and therefore die. WHAT IS IONISATION? An ion is an atom or molecule that has absorbed or released one or more electrons and thus has an electric charge – positive or negative. Ions are generally created in nature and have been demonstrated to have a positive effect on air quality. When the ion density drops, so does the air quality. By increasing the number of ions, air quality is therefore improved significantly. This is the basis of our ionisation technology. Negatively charged ions – called oxygen ions – are particularly bene- ficial for health, work energy and mood. This is because the negative ions make it easier for us to absorb and use the oxygen we inhale. The highest concentration of negative ions is found in nature – particularly near rivers, waterfall, the sea, etc. You are probably familiar with the feeling you get right after a heavy downpour or from a fresh breeze of sea air. This is the feeling of air filled with ions, and this is the refreshing and energising feeling that we will bring to your office. 5
