UV-A

While standard purifiers use fan and filter systems to trap large particles circulating through the air, Molekule’s devices rely on a special UV-A light to break down the pollutants on a molecular level.

The UV-A lights will be on overnight, but turn off in the daytime.

The Kearney Hub reports the boxes emit UV-A light down the power lines, making them more visible to the cranes.

One thing bar owners can do is use UV-C lights — not to be confused with retina-singeing UV-A and UV-B lights.

With the help of Dr. Bruce Davidson, a pulmonary physician and the former president of the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association, he installed fans and UV-C lights — not to be confused with retina-singeing UV-A and UV-B lights — on the bar’s ceiling.
