Abstract

Examples of air treatment systems for use in neutralizing airborne pathogens are disclosed herein. The air treatment systems comprise a housing, an air moving device, and one or more sources of ultraviolet light. An airflow may be directed through the enclosure by the air moving device and exposed to the ultraviolet light sources disposed within the enclosure. In some examples, the air treatment systems include one or more baffles disposed within the enclosure to disrupt the linear flow of air through the enclosure and cause more uniform exposure to the ultraviolet light emitted by the sources of ultraviolet light. Some examples may also include one or more air filters for removing particulate matter.
