Yes, thousands of references to this efficacy can be found in literature and in actual applications.
The most recent in the literature are provided by Steril-Aire and are included in its newer
catalogs. One is the cooperative Extended Abstract from NIOSH and the University of
Cincinnati wherein UVC was tested against the heartiest of bacteria. Along with this is the Tulsa
University study conducted at the Public Service Company of Oklahoma wherein a two-log
(99%) reduction of surface and airborne mold was achieved using UVC Emitters. UVC is used
worldwide, more in other countries per capita than in the US.

Facts About UV

Since the first UV irradiation system was used, the disinfection of medical equipment using UV
has been a common and reliable practice. UV disinfection has been determined to be adequate
for inactivating bacteria and viruses. The germicidal effects of UV light cause photochemical
damage to DNA and RNA within microorganisms.
“...ultraviolet radiation, properly integrated with heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
systems, shows the most promise as a widely applicable means of air disinfection.” Richard
