This book is a comprehensive source for technical information regarding ultra- oletgermicidalirradiation(UVGI)anditsapplicationtoairandsurfacedisinf- tion for the control of pathogens and allergens. The primary focus is on airborne microbesandsurfacecontaminationapplications.Water-basedapplicationsarenot addressedhereexceptincidentallyastheyrelatetoairandsurfacemicrobes,since manyadequatetextsonwater-basedUVdisinfectionareavailable.Allaspectsof UVGIsystems,includingdesignmethods,modeling,safety,installation,guidelines, anddisinfectiontheoryareaddressedinsuf?cientdetailthatnoadditionalsources needbeconsulted.Itishopedbytheauthorthatprovidingthisinformationinone singlevolumewillsimplifythedesignandinstallationofUVGIsystems,helpgu- anteeeffectiveperformanceofnewsystems,andfacilitatetheiruseonawidescale forthepurposeofimprovinghumanhealthandcontrollingepidemicdisease.This book is organized to provide systematic coverage of all essential issues and will serveequallywellasbothatextbookandahandbookforgeneralreference.
