Ultraviolet (UV) Light
A Powerful Air Purification ProcessUltraviolet (UV) lightwaves from the sun destroy viruses, bacteria (including possibly the Anthrax Bacterium and SARS), fungi and other pollutants, including mold spores. It has been used for years by the medical field to sanitize rooms and equipment, and is recognized by the Center for Disease Control for its ability to effectively destroy germs and other biological pollutants.
Air Oasis' proprietary technology revolves around the power and versatility of UV lightwaves, bringing this technology to residential, business and commercial air purification. Air is treated with UV lightwaves, as it passes through the
Air Oasis' AHPCO™ cell, through air currents naturally present in the indoor environment and drawn in by the unit's fan. Plus,
Air Oasis uses a unique convection process to draw additional air through the unit, above and beyond what is achieved by way of natural air currents and the fan. The purified air is then blown back out with a small, quiet fan.
Air Oasis UV lamps offer a much higher concentration of ultraviolet light than even the sun. 
The specific wavelength of 254nm is most effective at inactivating harmful contaminates. As an airborne microorganism passes over the
Air Oasis' AHPCO™ cell, the UV light penetrates the organism’s membrane and alters its genetic material (DNA). With altered DNA, the microorganism will no longer be able to reproduce, rendering it microbiologically dead and, therefore, harmless. Due to the short life span of most microorganisms, once they lose the ability to reproduce, the population diminishes rapidly and dramatically. Since the ultraviolet light is only directed inside the unit, there are no potential harmful side effects. A basic characteristic of UV lamps is that the larger the lamp, the greater the output of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). But larger or longer UV lamps that create ozone can also produce too much ozone. To solve this problem, Air Oasis developed a proprietary broad spectrum, high efficiency UV bulb (HE/UVTM) to work with their hydrated quad-metallic target and PPC-UV bulb coating. The target acts as a catalyst for a hydroxyl radical reaction of the broad spectrum 100-300 nm HE/UVTM energy with water vapor on the hydrated target. The results are hydro peroxides, super oxide ions, passive negative ions hydroxides and ozonide ions. The cell creates a very aggressive advanced oxidation atmosphere that has the ability to reduce airborne bacteria, mold and viruses up to 99% also odors and VOC's by up to 97%. A proprietary protective poly shield shields the bulb from temperature fluctuations and breakage that could release mercury, which is a problem for all UV bulbs.
