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

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.

As we welcome the New Year, the team at PuraAir would like to extend our warmest wishes to all our valued clients and partners. The start of the year also marks the peak of the summer season, a time when warmer temperatures, increased building occupancy, and higher waste volumes can create unique challenges for odour control and hygiene management. Summer heat accelerates the breakdown of waste, leading to stronger and more persistent odours. It also creates ideal conditions for flies and other pests, particularly in bin rooms, waste chutes, loading docks, and garbage storage areas. Without effective odour control solutions in place, these issues can quickly impact the comfort, health, and overall experience of residents, staff, and visitors. In high-rise residential buildings, these challenges are often intensified during the holiday period. With more people spending time at home, garbage volumes naturally increase, placing additional strain on waste management systems. Communal areas such as lift lobbies, corridors, and waste rooms can be especially affected if odours are not properly managed, leading to resident complaints and unnecessary disruption. This makes the New Year an ideal time to review your odour control and scenting requirements. Ensuring that existing systems are functioning optimally, and that solutions are appropriately scaled for summer conditions, can help prevent issues before they arise. Proactive odour management not only improves air quality but also supports hygiene standards, reduces pest activity, and helps maintain a pleasant living and working environment. At PuraAir, we work closely with building managers, facility teams, and property owners to deliver tailored odour control and scenting solutions that address seasonal demands. From waste room and garbage chute treatment to fly control and ambient scenting in shared spaces, our solutions are designed to perform when conditions are at their most challenging. Start the year with confidence. We encourage you to take this opportunity to assess your current odour control measures and ensure they are ready for the months ahead. Contact Rob Clarke from PuraAir on 1300 972 736 or 0147 714 268 today to schedule a summer readiness review or to discuss tailored solutions for your building. A proactive approach now can help prevent issues later and ensure your spaces remain fresh, hygienic, and welcoming throughout summer and beyond. Browse through our website for more information. We wish you a safe, successful, and refreshing New Year and look forward to supporting you throughout 2026.
