Why is Air Sanitation Important?

With the average adult breathing in 15,000 litres of air every day, it's no secret that the need for clean air is vital to our health.


However, research by organisations such as the Green Action Centre has gone on to show that “air pollution is one of the most significant environmental challenges that affect public health across the world.” 


With the increase in the burning of fossil fuels for things such as generating electricity or powering cars, combined with the unsafe nature of COVID-19, a greater concern for cleaner, more sanitary air has emerged. Especially following the studies and debates that have gone to show that keeping indoor air cleaner can reduces the chance of spreading coronavirus.


Now, especially for businesses, commercial occupancy of spaces and even homes, the quality of air has become an important factor to look out for. 


But how does one ‘sanitise’ the air in their space? 


Madison IAQ explains the process of sanitising air, which can be accomplished through Ultraviolet Germicidal light, Ozone oxidation, or chemical cleansing such as chlorine, to name a few, as “essentially rendering microbes such as viruses, fungi, and bacteria harmless.”

However, bigger and/or commercial spaces, that generate mass quantities of odours such as in high-rise apartment garbage chutes, garbage compactor systems, garbage bin collection areas, grease trap rooms, wastewater rooms, wet food waste areas etc, may require larger scale odour control technologies



High Performance Commercial Odour Control Systems|Commercial Air Purifiers| PuraAir Australia

This is where PuraAir provides you with the most efficient solution with their UVC Series 1000.


PuraAir is known for its state-of-the-art commercial odour control systems that destroy airborne bacteria and viruses which cause odours, ensuring a safe and healthy environment. With an ethos of delivering high-quality products that solve all your air quality requirements, PuraAir has high standards of integrity, expertise, and efficient service.


The UVC Series 1000 is PuraAir’s best quality high-performance commercial odour control system. It eliminates unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp using UV Lamp ozone generating technologies. Odour control systems as such are guaranteed for a continuous long working life of 9000-12000 hours, with the machine working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, keeping your air clean for around 500 days! Additionally, the lamps are powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function extending the life of these components.


Through a process called irradiation, PuraAir’s air sanitation process filters airborne dust through active carbon filters as it draws in unwanted odours from areas under treatment. These odours then enter the UVC germicidal light chamber where the odour control process begins. 


The micro-organisms subsequently come in contact with the UVC germicidal light wave, changing their DNA and destroying them and eliminating the smell. This method has been shown in laboratory environments to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms and thus to be able to inactivate viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms.


The advanced stage of this air sanitation process lies in the production of ozone (O3) by UV light waves, distributed by a high flow air distribution system to the area that needs to be treated. For example, in a high-rise garbage chute application, the ozone O3 is delivered into the garbage chute and bin where the odour originates; here the building’s garbage chute’s natural updraft carries ozone O3 from the bottom to the top destroying bacteria and viruses. Therefore, eliminating and preventing the unwanted odours from entering the building’s residential or common areas to provide a sanitised environment.


With no ongoing chemicals or storage costs, and a 100% Australian garbage odour eliminator design, worldwide approvals for use on food (FDA), design rights approved technology and incorporated ACC (Adaptive Command Controls), the UVC Series 1000 provides a healthier environment for you, your guests and customers.


When you invest in the UVC Series 1000 you can be sure to receive the best quality product, one that harbours all the 8 must-have features for your commercial odour control system, ranging from bacteria, virus, mould and fungal spore control.

The chemical-free, high flow distribution system is low maintenance but high in its UV lamp quality making it energy efficient and quiet while operating. 


So, don’t put up with smelly, dirty air. Stop bacteria and viruses in their tracks with PuraAir. Be ensured of all 8 must-have features for your commercial odour control system with PuraAir as you breathe easier in your space with the UVC Series 1000 odour control system.

Winter Fresh: How PuraAir Helps Keep Indoor Environments Clean, Fresh and Inviting During the Cooler Months

June 17, 2026
As the temperatures drop and winter settles in, we naturally spend more time indoors. Doors and windows remain closed to keep the warmth in, but this can also trap unwanted odours, stale air, moisture and airborne contaminants inside our homes, workplaces and commercial buildings. Winter presents unique air quality challenges, making it the perfect time to consider professional scenting and deodorising solutions. At PuraAir, we help businesses and property managers create cleaner, fresher and more welcoming indoor environments throughout the colder months. Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More in Winter During winter, reduced ventilation means indoor air has fewer opportunities to circulate naturally. Odours from waste areas, food preparation, garbage rooms, grease traps, wet areas and high-traffic spaces can quickly become noticeable and linger for longer periods. In residential settings, cooking odours, pet smells, dampness and general household odours can become trapped indoors. In commercial environments, poor indoor air quality can negatively impact visitor experiences, employee comfort and overall perceptions of a building or business. Total Air Quality Solutions You Can Rely On At PuraAir, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products that don’t just mask odours - but eliminate them at the source. Backed by our commitment to integrity, technical expertise, over 15 years in the industry, efficient service, we provide complete air quality solutions that meet the highest standards.

It also means fostering a workplace culture built on safety, respect, accountability, and care for our people. As workplace expectations continue to evolve across Australia and globally, businesses are being held to higher standards - and rightly so.

They are critical responsibilities that every organisation must actively address. For many years, PuraAir has maintained a strong commitment to workplace safety and ethical business practices. Our safety record reflects the standards we set for ourselves every day - not simply because regulations require it, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our staff, contractors, clients, and the communities we work within. Our team works across a wide range of commercial and industrial environments, including high-rise residential buildings, waste management areas, plant rooms, commercial facilities, and hospitality spaces. These environments require strict attention to safety procedures, risk management, and ongoing training. We take these responsibilities seriously and continually review our systems and practices to ensure they remain current, effective, and aligned with industry best practice. At PuraAir, safety is not treated as a checklist exercise. It is part of our company culture. From site inductions and equipment maintenance to safe handling procedures and ongoing staff education, we are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels supported and protected while carrying out their work. Equally important is the culture we foster within our workplace. Respect, inclusion, and professionalism are non-negotiable values at PuraAir. Bullying, harassment, discrimination, or any form of inappropriate workplace behaviour have no place in our business. We are committed to maintaining a workplace where our staff feel safe, heard, and valued. Open communication, mutual respect, and ethical leadership are fundamental to the way we operate. Modern slavery and ethical sourcing are also areas of growing importance for businesses and clients alike. Organisations today are expected to demonstrate transparency and responsibility across their operations and supply chains. PuraAir supports these principles and recognises the importance of ethical business conduct in every aspect of our operations. For our clients, partnering with a company that prioritises safety and ethical standards provides confidence and peace of mind.
