Unit cleans 1,000 sq. ft.; is first to use Steril-Aire UVC technology

BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- A new 'Steril-Zone(TM)' room air purifier that uses an innovative three-stage process to clean the air in rooms up to 1,000 sq. ft. is now available from Steril-Aire, Inc. Safe and ozone-free, the portable air purification system is the first to use the company's multi-patented and award-winning "UVC Emitter(TM)" to clean the air of bacteria, mold and viruses (i.e., microorganisms) for healthier indoor environments. This ultraviolet lamp combines with a high efficiency pleated air filter to capture particulates and a long-life carbon filter to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors -- controlling all three categories of indoor air pollutants and irritants in the spaces where people live, work and play.

Microbial contaminants cannot be eliminated by air filters alone: They simply collect and can be re-released into the air. Steril-Zone's germicidal UVC energy penetrates even the tiniest microbes, destroying their DNA and RNA. In doing so, it controls infectious organisms more successfully than air purifiers without UV lamps -- even those with HEPA filters, which have only limited effectiveness against viruses. The compact but powerful unit also reduces or eliminates the allergens and pollutants that trigger allergies and asthma. Steril-Zone is ideal for residential rooms, apartments and condos, offices, waiting rooms, day care and senior rooms.

Steril-Zone uses a commercial-grade quiet fan that produces up to five air changes per hour in an average room. This superior air movement ensures the best possible purification while exceeding the cleaning capacity of most room air purifiers. One Steril-Zone air cleaner can do the job of two or three competitive products, saving money and energy.

Steril-Zone features a lightweight, neutral-colored design that blends with any decor and measures just 13.5" W x 15" D x 21" H (5.3 cm x 5.9 cm x 8.27 cm). Filter replacement is quick and easy. The product carries a 5-year limited warranty and operates on standard 120-volt, single-phase power.

Steril-Zone is manufactured by Steril-Aire, Inc., which pioneered UVC lights for microbial control in air conditioning systems. The company's technology is used in thousands of buildings around the world including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, schools, government facilities, offices and homes.
