Fighting superbugs
December 1st 2007

Malcolm Snowball, an expert on UV disinfection, believes that a new range of ultra-violet air disinfecting units could help stop the spread of airborne superbugs.

GB Environmental has developed a range of air disinfection systems that help combat these problems through the UV disinfection of airborne bacteria and viruses by way of either a standard air conditioning system for a single bed or for entire hospital wards.

Snowball says: "This UV technology is a major breakthrough and one which I am confident will have an instant impact on the battle against viruses and infections such as MRSA, Clostridium difficile and TB in hospitals. The benefits of UV air treatment apply to more than just medical institutions; offices and factories can also benefit, by having biologically clean air; for example the unpleasant health conditions associated with Sick Building Syndrome can be substantially solved."
