Ozone vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) ozone generators, employ a light source that generates a narrow-band ultraviolet light, a subset of that produced by the Sun. The Sun's UV sustains the ozone layer in the stratosphere of Earth. UV ozone generators use ambient air for ozone production, no air prep systems are used (air dryer or oxygen concentrator), therefore these generators tend to be less expensive. However UV ozone generators usually produce ozone with a concentration of about 0.5% or lower which limits the potential ozone production rate. Another disadvantage of this method is that it requires the ambient air (oxygen) to be exposed
UV filter nm), UVB (290-320 nm) and UVC (200-280 nm ). Ultraviolet absorbing compounds are the active ingredients of sunscreen products and other personal care products (e.g. lipsticks, shampoos, hair sprays, body washes, toilet soaps, and insect repellents). Chemical filters are generally used in combination in order to get sufficient protection against UV. They protect humans from the serious effects of UV radiation by absorbing, reflecting or scattering it. The reflection and scattering effecst are done by physical UV filters which are inorganic UV filters such as titaniumdioxide (TiO) and zinc oxide (ZnO). Absorption is accomplished by organic UV filters which are
