Is UV Sanitization Safe?

Schools are busy places frequented by hundreds of students. With so many people in close contact, there are many opportunities for pathogens to spread. The COVID pandemic highlighted the risky nature of public institutions like schools. Many people are still wary of public spaces, but isolation is hard on people's mental well-being. UV light sanitizer for school can help people reclaim their social and public spaces. We need to protect our students and children from infection as part of that goal.

IS A UV LIGHT SANITIZER FOR SCHOOL SAFE?

The pulsed Xenon technology developed by Violet Defense uses broad-spectrum UV light to eliminate harmful microorganisms. Ultraviolet light disrupts the cell functions of bacteria and destroys bacterial cells and viruses. This potent strategy eliminates viruses and bacteria without the risk of them becoming resistant.

The fact that UV light disinfection works by destroying bacterial cells may raise the question: "Is UV sanitation safe for humans?" The goal of Violet Defense is the safety of our clients. Our pulsed Xenon UV disinfection solutions are even safer than they are effective.

UV DISINFECTION REMOVES HAZARDS FROM THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

The first things to consider are the dangers from which our products protect your students and faculty. Harmful microorganisms and the toxic chemicals often used to eliminate them pose a health risk for students and faculty alike.

ELIMINATES HARMFUL MICROORGANISMS

The COVID-19 pandemic is a poignant example of the dangers posed by microorganisms. The harm done to people by the disease and its consequences was eye-opening. Despite its infamy, the Coronavirus is far from the only microorganism that threatens our students. Even comparatively benign diseases like the flu can cause large numbers of people to become sick each year.

Violet Defense wanted to verify that our products were effective, so we subjected them to testing by third-party research labs. These labs found that our technology is up to 99.9% effective against SARS-CoV-2 and other dangerous pathogens like MRSA, E. Coli, and influenza. 

These test results demonstrate the ability of our products to create a safer, bacteria-free environment for your students.

CHEMICAL FREE

The alternatives are another consideration when deciding whether UV light disinfection is right for your school. Chemical disinfectants are one of the most common tools people use to combat infectious microorganisms in their environment. The problem with this solution is that the most effective chemical disinfectants are highly toxic. This can't be avoided because these chemicals' toxic nature is why they are effective.

The hazardous nature of many disinfectants is made worse by the chemical residues they can leave on surfaces. These residues can harm people even after protecting them from microorganisms. This is a big problem for schools because children and adolescents are often more vulnerable to harmful chemicals; smaller, developing bodies are harmed by smaller exposures.

Our products protect your students by eliminating the need for these chemicals. Broad-spectrum UV light inactivates these disease-causing microorganisms without leaving toxic residues.

UV LIGHT'S BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

Destroying harmful viruses and bacteria without leaving toxic residues behind is a good step, but what about broad-spectrum UV light? Violet Defense uses three strategies to deploy our pulsed Xenon technology against harmful microorganisms without exposing humans to ultraviolet light.

AUTOMATED FUNCTIONALITY

The first of the safety features built into our pulsed Xenon solutions is automation. Our surface disinfecting products are programmable. These devices can automatically disinfect your spaces every night on a controlled schedule. They are also compatible with building automation systems that use the BACnet international standard. Integrating our devices with existing building automation is convenient and allows you to disinfect your facilities without anyone in the room or even in the building.

INTEGRATED MOTION SENSORS

Not only can our products be configured to operate when no one is expected to be using your facilities, but our devices also feature integrated motion sensor technology. Using this technology, our products can suspend operation and delay cleaning cycles should someone wander into the area at the wrong moment. This protects people in the room without compromising the ability of our products to disinfect high-contact surfaces in your school.

FULLY ENCLOSED AIR PURIFICATION

In addition to disinfecting high-contact surfaces, UV disinfection solutions also sanitize the air your students and staff breathe as the light targets pathogens in the air as well as surfaces. These products can also be integrated within your existing HVAC equipment to disinfect coils, which can help combat airborne pathogens without exposing the human occupants of your facility to broad-spectrum UV light.
