As an airborne micro-organism passes over the UV light, the UV light penetrates the organism’s membrane and alters its genetic material (DNA). With altered DNA,
the micro-organism will no longer
be able to reproduce, rendering it
microbiologically dead and
therefore harmless.
WHY the use of Medical-Grade Ultra-Violet Radiation?
Because UV (Ultraviolet) light is one of the more effective methods to reduce and control Airborne pathogens. For this reason, UV air devices are commonly used in hospitals. Due to viruses are too small to be trapped by HEPA filters, UV light is one of the only ways to eliminate airborne viruses. As an airborne micro organism passes over the UV light, the UV light penetrates the organism’s membrane and alters its genetic material (DNA). With altered DNA, the micro organism will no longer be able to reproduce, rendering it microbiologically dead and therefore harmless. Due to the short life span of most micro organisms, once they lose the ability to reproduce, the population diminishes rapidly and drastically.
No Side-Effect
Since the UV light is only directed inside the unit, there are no potential harmful side effects.
Why is it effective?
A-FOS Smell Killer uses this approach. It attacks the sources of pollution directly, thus removing the source of odor and bacteria problems, giving the room a pleasant, refreshing and clean air environment.

According to the American Medical Association, 50% of all illness is caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air. The air in today homes & building contain contaminants such as bacteria, virus, mold, fungi & spores that contribute to many illness:
Benefits of Ultra-Violet (Radiation) Ray
The effects of UV radiation in terms of its harmful potential has been widely show-cased. However, any discussion on UV is incomplete without mentioning its benefits. UV radiations of various intensity and wavelength are employed for different purposes.
Vitamin D production: Natural sunlight stimulates the production of Vitamin-D, a vital component in the formation of healthy bones
Fluorescent Lamps: when low-pressure mercury vapor is ionized, UV radiation is produced which is then absorbed by a phosphorescent coating in the inside of the lamp to convert to visible light. These lamps are used in the treatment of neonatal jaundice and psoriasis.
Sterilization: UV lamps have been employed to sterilize work spaces, laboratories, tools etc .UV radiation has been employed in drinking water treatment plants and waste water-recycling projects as a viricide and a bactericide. It is also used in the food processing industry as a non-thermal tool for sterilizing food.
Pest Control: UV light is used in pest control devices and fly traps, as the insects are attracted to the fluorescent light and are trapped on coming in contact with the device
Spectrophotometry: UV radiation has been used to study the chemical structure of various substances and has been widely employed in visible spectro-photometry to determine the presence of fluorescence in a given sample.
Photolithography: UV is employed in fine resolution photolithography and hence is extensively used in the field of electronics
Authentication of documents and collectibles: In order to prevent counterfeiting, sensitive documents like passports may include a UV watermark that can be viewed only beneath a UV light. Analysing gems, or other valuables can also be effectively carried out under UV light
Checking Electrical Insulation and Fire Detection: Detecting pollution or degradation of insulation in an electrical device is carried out with the help of UV radiation. It is also employed in fire detectors.
In Genetics: The Green Fluorescent Protein is used as a marker in experiments in the field of genetics. Many substances, like protein are capable of absorbing UV and emit it at different wavelength and this property is employed in genetics, biochemistry and other related fields
Sun Tanning: Artificial methods that create a suntan, such as the use of sun- tan beds, employ UV radiation.
WHY the use of Activated Oxygen (O3) or trioxygen?
The three atom form of oxygen is a naturally occurring compound in the earth's atmosphere. The life cycle of ozone is: generation, oxidation, return to oxygen. Trace amounts of ozone are formed by the sun and by lightning.
Benefits of Activated Oxygen (O3)
One of the best features of ozone is its ability to control odors by attacking the offending organisms.
Giving your body a consistent supply of oxygen helps to:
Individuals have reported benefits from using Activated Oxygen for a variety of problems including:
IS OZONE SAFE? Can it be safely used for air purification in an average car?
Ozone is all around us. Ozone concentrations of 0.05ppm are within most recommended safe exposure levels for air purification levels.
A-FOS® Acti-Oxy (AO) emits an Ozone-capacity of only <0.03ppm for a coverage of <3 Cubic metre.
* NO Wiring needed!! (come with a 12-VDC cigarette-lighter plug & cable provided)
* NO Maintenance!! (fix it & forget it)
* NO Hassle on replacement. LAST LONGER than most branded car ionizer (up to 5-years)
Let A-FOS® Acti-Oxy refresh your car or desk-space with a clean air-zone.
At only 200-gram, it is nicely packed as a gift box for all occasions.
