Which is better air purifier or UV light?
HEPA filters only collect active viruses instead of destroying them and therefore need to be replaced regularly. UV air purifiers inactivate the viruses immediately, including all SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Due to the long life of the UV lamps, maintenance is much less.
Do UV sanitizers produce ozone?
No, UV-C light does not produce ozone. However, the shorter Ultraviolet-V (UV-V at 185 nanometers) wavelength of UVV light actually generates ozone. This occurs because UVV light reacts with oxygen to break it into atomic oxygen, a highly unstable atom that combines with oxygen to form O3 (Ozone).
Should you run air purifier all day?

There are no perceived drawbacks to keeping your unit running all the time, and if the filters are changed on time it can help to reduce pollutants in the home.
