Abstract
An apparatus for inactivating bioaerosol, comprising an enclosure having lumen walls forming a lumen, said lumen having a lumen input opening and a lumen output opening; a ventilator arranged for forcing an air flow through said lumen; in a cleaning section of said lumen, a source of ultraviolet light arranged to irradiate with ultraviolet light all the air passing through said lumen along a length of said cleaning section; an output muffler arranged for reducing a noise of said air flow in output of said lumen output opening; and a downstream turn section of said lumen, downstream said cleaning section of said lumen, arranged for changing a direction of said air flow such that no ultraviolet light in said cleaning section of said lumen is detectable at said lumen output opening.
