U.S. Government Recommendations

The U.S. Government recommends technologies used in Surround Air purifiers.


Recommendation for Using HEPA Air Filter and UV Light Together:

U.S. Centers of Disease Control Recommends Air Purifier with both HEPA Filter and UV Light. The CDC recommends the use of germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light with simultaneous use of HEPA air filters, for the best combination of both capturing and destroying microbes. Multi-Tech offers both HEPA filter and UV light.

Recommendations for HEPA Air Filter

Recommended by Dept. of Homeland Security.

HEPA air filters were developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during the second World War. They were originally designed to remove radio active dust from their plants. (HEPA Air Filter Research)

Recommendations for Germicidal UV Light (Ultraviolet)

Specified by U.S. Gov't to be used in government buildings to control micro-organisms.

The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends UV lights in homeless shelters to prevent the spread of disease, particularly TB (tuberculosis).

Recommendations for Ionizer/Negative Ion Air Purification

Found by U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) to be highly effective against dust and bacteria. The U.S.D.A. discovered the following in recent studies conducted in a poultry house, which are notoriously polluted:

  • Reduced salmonella (bacteria) transmission between chicks by 98%.
  • Reduced airborne salmonella (bacteria) by 95%.
  • Reduced airborne dust & particles by 99% in 60 seconds.

Recommendation for TiO2/Photocatalytic Filter

U.S. Department of Energy found that photocatalytic oxidation air purification destroyed VOC chemicals at a significant rate, even at high air flow rates.

Recommendation for Pre-Filter

The Dept. of Homeland Security recommends using a pre-filter along with a HEPA filter, to preserve the life of the HEPA filter.
