摘要:
An assembly and method for treating or otherwise improving an atmosphere contained within an enclosed space. The enclosed space can be a container such as a bag or other housing for equipment, food and/or suitable material, or a room, another similar space and/or environment within a residential building space, a commercial building space, an industrial building space and/or a space of any other similar building structure. Ozone is generated within an atmosphere that is exposed to the material. The generated ozone is mixed with the atmosphere in the presence of UV light. The ozone reacts with contaminants in the presence of UV light and removes or inactivates those contaminants from the atmosphere. The UV light and ozone inactivate microbes and alter the proteins on allergens. At least a portion of the generated ozone is then removed from the mixed atmosphere. The assembly and method can be used to treat the air in a room, or to treat contaminated sports equipment and the like, as well as to treat food storage atmospheres, such as those exposed to fresh fruits and vegetables.
