Does ultraviolet (UV) radiation from UV
lamps kill mold?
If properly designed, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI)
cleaners that use ultraviolet radiation from UV lamps may destroy indoor
biological pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, and some molds that are
growing on the moist interiors of HVAC surfaces (e.g., cooling coils, drain
pans, or ductwork). But typical UVGI cleaners used in homes have
limited effectiveness in killing bacteria and molds. Effective destruction of
some viruses and most mold and bacterial spores usually requires much higher UV
exposure than is provided in a typical home unit. Furthermore, dead mold spores
can still produce allergic reactions, so UVGI cleaners may not be effective in
reducing allergy and asthma symptoms.
