Air Purifier
UV Angel Air uses UV-C light air-purification technology to inactivate bacteria, fungi, and viruses. According to the manufacturer, the unit can be integrated into a new or existing ceiling light fixture, where it continuously and quietly draws in room air through filters, inactivates pathogens inside a sealed air chamber, and then recirculates the air back into the workspace. No changes are needed to staff workflows, and no additional floor space is required.
