Please note that many variables take place in a real world environment that make actual calculating of the UV dosage very difficult (air flow, humidity, distance of micro organism to the UV light and time). However, it is proven that UV light will kill any DNA-based organism given enough UV dosage and that UV light breaks down DNA on a cumulative basis. Therefore, as air circulates through the ductwork of an HVAC system containing an UV light, the UV light continuously cleanses the air. If a micro organism is not effectively eradicated on the first pass through the ductwork, the UV light will continue to break its DNA down on subsequent passes. In addition, micro organisms typically do not sit in a static environment in HVAC systems except on coils which can be exposed to our lights also. In fact, micro organisms breed micro organisms if not controlled. The UV light helps to reduce incidences of inhaled pathogens for persons who reside or work in indoor environments.

The following are incident energies of germicidal ultraviolet radiation at 253.7 nanometers necessary to inhibit colony formation in microorganisms (90%) and for complete destruction:
