ROYSE CITY, TX — Dust Free, a distributor of air filtration equipment, says that it has been conducting tests to determine the effect ultraviolet (UV) light has on Bacillus anthracis.
According to Dust Free, anthrax spores can migrate into the hvac system of targeted buildings or residences. And although UV light fixtures mounted in the hvac system will not provide “point of contact” protection from opening a letter containing the spores, there is data to support the claim that UV-C energy can damage anthrax bacteria if the spores migrate onto a surface in the system where the UV-C light is installed.
