Virus Prevention

The right humidifier or UV light for your home can zap and destroy airborne bacteria and viruses like influenza and coronavirus (COVID-19).

Humidification

Stale, dry air in your home makes your family more susceptible to airborne bacteria and viruses. Healthy humidity levels are shown to kill infectious disease particles in the air and are paramount to protecting your family. Plus, it will help ease the symptoms if you're already sick by adding moisture to your nasal, throat, and lung passages, making it easier for air to pass through.

Here's how it works:

A room with high humidity is already saturated with moisture. This prevents the air from absorbing particles expelled when someone coughs or sneezes and also shortens the distance those particles can travel. This significantly limits the virus's ability to spread. The article Dynamics of Airborne Influenza A Viruses Indoors and Dependence on Humidity further explains the effects of humidity on airborne illnesses and recommends maintaining indoor relative humidity of 40% or more.

UV Light

Another proven method to destroy airborne viruses is through ultraviolet (UV) light. For years, UV light has been used in sterilizing medical equipment and purifying water. As part of an air purification or humidification system, UV light kills air problems at the source.

The UV-Aire UV-16 is found to reduce bacteria by 90% within 30 minutes.
