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.
