Quartzing is a reliable way to clean rooms from various bacteria and viruses. It is a common procedure for medical institutions, kindergartens, and businesses. Quartz treatment can be practiced in any room, even at home. The effectiveness of ultraviolet spectrum light for reducing computer keyboard contamination has been proven. However, it is important to remember that if there is household appliances in the room, several rules for using the lamp must be followed — let's take a look at what they are.

Basic rules for quartz treatment of rooms

Quartz treatment of rooms is their treatment with ultraviolet radiation. For disinfection, a special lamp is used, in which the source of ultraviolet radiation is created by mercury or noble gas vapors under the influence of an electric field. The device is made of transparent quartz glass that is resistant to high temperatures.

The main rule of quartz treatment is to correctly calculate the area of the room, as each recirculator has a specific range of action. For example, one model can work effectively in a 15 m² room, while another can work in a room of 40 m² or more. If the device is too small for a large room, it simply will not be able to clean all the air of germs. Also consider the ceilings: if they are high, the air volume is greater, so you may need a more powerful device or several recirculators. Information on the recommended room size for disinfection can be found in the product's technical data sheet.

If you use safe lamps for quartz treatment that are not harmful to humans or animals, observe the following rules:

1. Do not cover the device or place objects too close to it so as not to block the air intake and outlet openings, otherwise disinfection will be less effective.
2. Strictly observe the treatment time. Each lamp has its own, so check the instructions. Excessive quartz treatment can damage objects or equipment.
3. Do not point the lamp directly at household appliances. Prolonged UV exposure can cause plastic to fade or damage materials.
4. Clean the device regularly. Filters and grilles can accumulate dust during use. Clean them as instructed in the manual to help the recirculator work effectively.

Monitor the service life of the lamps. The UV lamps inside the recirculator have a limited service life (usually several thousand hours), so check them and replace them in good time.

Contraindications and precautions for use

The main contraindications concern the use of open quartz lamps — they must not be switched on in the presence of people or animals. You should also be careful with lamps that emit ozone — after use, be sure to ventilate the room, as high concentrations of this substance can be harmful.

Also observe the following rules:

1. Do not use the recirculator for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
2. Bactericidal lamps should not be used in conditions of high humidity or near water.
3. Do not open the housing during operation, as ultraviolet light will escape and may damage your eyes or skin.
4. Do not place the device near open flames or heaters.
5. Do not allow children to use the device on their own.

Recirculators are safe devices when used correctly.

Are there any special conditions for caring for equipment during quartz treatment?

When using closed quartz lamps, equipment can remain in place without any additional protection. Computers, televisions, smartphones, and household appliances function normally in a room where a recirculator is operating.

The only precautions are standard rules for operating electrical appliances — ensure normal ventilation around the equipment, avoid overheating, and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for operating conditions. Also, do not place large appliances near the recirculator that could block air circulation, as this will make disinfection less effective.

However, if you are using an open-type germicidal lamp, the following recommendations should be observed:

• Close or remove appliances from the room. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can damage plastic, rubber parts, and appliance housings — over time, they may fade, yellow, or become brittle. Displays and screens are particularly vulnerable.
• Do not point the lamp directly at the equipment. If it is not possible to remove the devices, at least position the lamp so that the rays do not fall directly on them.
• Turn off electronic devices. Some devices are sensitive to ultraviolet light, especially if they contain photo sensors or other sensors.

It is important to regularly check the condition of the equipment after quartzing, especially plastic parts. If you notice a change in color or condition, or an unpleasant odor, this is an alarm signal, and it is better to remove the devices during quartzing.
