Safe
The Odorox® UV hydroxyl generating technology does not use any chemicals or create any toxic by products but merely mimics the earth’s atmospheric cleansing process and brings it indoors. The earth has used this same technique for millions of years proving effective and safe for humans, plants, pets etc.
The commercial & industrial models add more optics to create higher concentrations of hydroxyls so the technology can be effectively used on some of the toughest bacteria and odour issues in industry. The larger machines are built with sensors to prevent over processing. As the pathogens or VOC’s are eliminated, the machine begins shutting down bulbs keeping the space clean and safe.
Testing has been performed to prove the effectiveness on a myriad of reference organisms by independent labs as well as we present many case studies where it has been used effectively in the field.
Green
Many companies describe their products and services as “green” but what does that really mean? In the Odorox® case, we describe this technology as “Green” because it harnesses the same wave energy as the sun and does not use chemicals or produce any residual compounds. It merely uses UV light and humidity to create the hydroxyls to provide a cleaning mechanism. It uses very little energy and cleans some of the toughest odour and bacteria on the planet. We have created a chart for the electricity use and encourage you to help change the world by working with newer technologies that take these principals serious.
Quick Facts
- Hydroxyls have been called "Mother Nature's Broom” because of their ability to clean the air.
- Hydroxyl molecules are so small that 10 billion of them would fit into one raindrop.
- The Hydroxyl generator is an excellent solution to produce outdoor clean air indoors.
- Hydroxyl ions are extremely short-lived molecules.
- Hydroxyls are probably the single most important cleansing agent for our environment
Decline in Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide Raises Questions About Its Cause

According to a New York Times article (May, 2001), hydroxyl radicals are thought by atmospheric chemistry scientists to purge more than half the sulfur dioxide added to the air by smokestacks, volcanoes and other sources.
