A third-party study claims an in-duct air purifier is effective against COVID-19. RGF Environmental Group said the study shows the REME Halo is 99.9% effective.
“They put the UVC technology into a confined space which was about 1,000 cubic feet, which is roughly a 10x10 room in average space, put the virus in that space and within a few minutes, allowing the air changes per hour to go through the UVC bulb, it inactivated the virus by 99.9%,” explained Alex Kavanaugh, with McGowan’s Heating and Air Conditioning.
