Health: UV-C radiation reduces the level of employee illness

Even before publication of the "Lancet" study by scientists at Montreal University, Canada on 29.11.2003 it had been clearly proved that employee absence due to sickness caused by microbial and endotoxic contamination of ventilation and air conditioning systems can be drastically reduced by the integration of UV-C systems. The study showed that UV-C radiation led to a 99% reduction in the concentration of microbes and endotoxins in the ventilation systems. Respiratory problems in the persons studied fell by 40% and mucus membrane problems were reduced by 30%. Complaints involving muscular aches fell by 50% in the non-smoking group.
