Warnings related to Ozone and UV
The germicidal effect of the Perenio® PELUV01 UV Lamp is provided by the use of
UVC wavelengths of 260nm to 275nm.
The above wavelengths are peak to achieve the bactericidal effect of destroying cells
of pathogenic organisms. Also, the operation of the lamp leads ozone generation in
the air, which is effective in destroying microorganisms and removing odors. This
type of disinfection does not harm the environment and does not require special
maintenance and storage conditions.
However, ozone in itself is highly toxic and can have adverse effects on human health,
such as:
•Chest pains, cough, shortness of breath, and throat irritation;
•Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma;
•Decreased ability of the body to fight respiratory infections;
•Inflammation and damage to the mucous membrane of the lungs.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause the following adverse effects:
