The Osram’s Air Zing Mini air purifier with ultraviolet light easily fits on air vents and eliminate up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria from the air inside vehicles to improve air quality for drivers and passengers.
The ultraviolet light of Osram’s Air Zing Mini works at a wavelength of 360 to 370 nanometers eliminating viruses and bacteria. The device has already been successfully tested against bird flu viruses. The air purifier also eliminates airborne allergens, pollutants and smells. With a diameter of 7.5 cm, the compact round device can easily be attached to the vehicle’s ventilation slats with a clip. It included USB cable supplies power to the air purifier via any standard USB socket.
The device operates quietly and illuminates the brand logo on the top in a subtle blue to show that it is working. Air is drawn into the unit and passed through a titanium dioxide filter, where it is cleaned by an array of UV-A light-emitting diodes. A photo-catalytic reaction kills viruses and bacteria cells before the purified air is expelled through the top of the housing. The filter can be cleaned with clear tap water, dried and reused. There is no danger to passengers from the encapsulated UV radiation.
