EPISODE172- Ashish Mathur, PhD -UV and Molecular filtration

Ultra Violet Devices Inc. (UVDI) is one of the oldest and most respected ultraviolet disinfection companies in the world. It all began with the hard work and ingenuity of a single man. Three generations ago Luis Veloz was an engineer for Westinghouse when their R&D engineers developed and patented the first commercial ultraviolet lamps. Luis was excited by this new technology and in 1949 he purchased a Westinghouse UV lamp dealership. Early applications were difficult to develop, but Luis had a vision of how ultraviolet light might be widespread and effective. He formed Aquafine Corporation to focus on water disinfection. In 2003, UVDI launched its ALTRU-V line of air disinfection products. We have talked a good bit with past guests about the potential benefits and drawbacks for specific airstream UV disinfection with IAQ experts for three years it is time we hear from a respected manufacturer for their perspective. Let's see what they have to say and contribute we can contribute the discussion our own unique way on IAQ Radio.
