This invention relates to a method, process and apparatus for disinfecting a nd sterilizing all types of surfaces contaminated with microorganisms and toxic substances to render both inactive. Furthermore, this invention relates to both a method and apparatus for disinfecting and/or sterilizing breathable a ir and then using this air to protect a confined space from external contamination. The apparatus consists of a new ultra-violet (NUV) source tha t is more effective than mercury based 254 nm light for destroying DNA of viru s, bacteria, spores and cists. It is most effective in breaking chemical bonds in toxic gases that are useful to terrorists. It is combined with other apparat us that remove particulates and byproducts sometimes produced by the NUV source and maintains positive pressure of the confined space so as to prevent the influx of air from outside the protected zone. |
