Does UVC affect toxins, smoke, odors and house dust?

Yes! Anything that is organic has wavelengths that break the molecules apart. Place a plastic milk bottle in the sun for two years and you’d find that the bottle decayed. This is because a wavelength from the sun separated the carbon and hydrogen molecules of the plastic. Organic tissue in dead animal breaks naturally down and decays. UVC has wavelengths that speed up this decaying process in organic material. Indoor VOC’s, odors, smoke and house dust are primarily organic. Thus UVC can break down these materials rather quickly.
