In addition to Pre-Filters, Carbon Filters, Micro-Suppress Filters, and a True HEPA Filter, the UV600 contains a UV Lamp to destroy microorganisms.

Both the EPA and the American Lung Association has ranked poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental risks to public health, and studies have shown that long-term exposure to airborne pollutants can cause heart failure and cancer.

While there has been a surge of air purifiers flooding the market, few can actually live up to their claims. Fortunately, with advanced features and 560 CFM (more than other home unit available), the Airpura UV600 air purifier is capable of removing up to 99.97% of particulates, chemicals, and microorganisms from the air you breathe. With a coverage area of up to 2000 square feet, the UV600 is especially unique in that it utilizes a 20 watt UV lamp that lasts 10,000 hours to destroy and sterilize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. As air passes over the filter chamber, the germicidal lamp sterilizes and destroys the DNA of microorganisms as they are trapped on the filters. This UV feature makes it perfect for home use, or for areas where microbial particulates may be rampant, such as isolation rooms, clinics, and medical facilities.

In addition to UV purification, the UV600 also utilizes four other filtration methods: Pre-filters, Micro-Suppress filters, HEPA filters, and Carbon filters. The pre-filters can be vacuumed through the mesh or changed as necessary, and the Micro-Suppress filters around the carbon bed suppress any microorganisms. Forty square feet of True HEPA has the ability to trap 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, and 18 lbs of activated carbon allows for superior fume, odor, gas, and chemical control.

For convenient operation, a variable speed motor allows you to choose your ideal level of filtration, and long-lasting filters (2 years for the carbon filters, 5 years for the HEPA filters, and 12 months for the Pre-Filters) makes maintenance easy. As well, Airpura prides itself on manufacturing air purifiers that are environmentally friendly. The UV600's all-metal housing and felt gaskets are 93% recyclable, do not off-gas chemicals, and avoid plastic - making this air purifier both ecologically sound and perfect for those with sensitive lungs.

With so many advanced features, it's clear to see why the Airpura UV600 offers superior air purification technology.
