These rays are also present in sunlight but don\u2019t reach us because they can\u2019t make it past the ozone layer. However, UVC rays can be artificially generated and used to kill viruses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, this type of UV ray has been shown to be effective in eliminating microbes and virus particles from surfaces. This includes coronavirus particles. In fact, specially designed UVC lamps and similar machines are currently being used to disinfect medical equipment. Exposing a surface or object to UVC rays for a few minutes eliminates viruses, bacteria, microbes and fungi.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UV rays and air quality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Confort Expert, we carry and install <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confortexpert.com\/en\/other-products\/air-purifiers\/\">air purifiers<\/a> equipped with lamps that produce UV rays. These devices purify the air that circulates through your home. When stale air enters the purifier, it\u2019s exposed to the rays of the UV lamp. This eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as the odours and biological contaminants they carry. The treated air is then recirculated back into the house, resulting in a more hygienic indoor environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comfort is just a call away!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Confort Expert is your heating and air conditioning specialist in Montreal.
