This Air Purification System
Is A Game-Changer
Provide continuous protection from airborne bacteria, fungi and
other dangerous microorganisms with the UV24 overhead air
purification system from NUVO. It combines an ultraviolet
germicidal irradiation chamber and circulating fans with a
ceiling light to allow for around-the-clock operation. UV24 can
treat a volume of air equivalent to a 10' by 10' by 8 room, four
times per hour. Since it's integrated into the ceiling, you save
floor space. There's no need to move around bulky equipment.
Choose from standard-sized fluorescent or LED lights. Minimal
maintenance required.
