Quartz lamps for home: device advantages and selection criteria

The property of quartz lamps to spread ultraviolet radiation has long been used by medical institutions for preventive and therapeutic purposes. Modern manufacturers offer models that can be used at home. Quartz lamps for home will help to fill the lack of vitamin D in the body, to disinfect the air in the room. But before using the device, be sure to study the rules for quartzing rooms and people.

Quartz lamps for home use

Several types of glass materials are used in the production of ultraviolet radiation sources. With this in mind, such devices are classified into:

• quartz;
• bactericidal;
• amalgam.

The source, which is based on a quartz bulb, emits powerful radiation. As a result of the operation of such a device, a large amount of ozone is generated, which has a strong antimicrobial effect.

Useful advice! High concentrations of ozone are toxic and can lead to negative effects on the human respiratory system.

The operation of amalgam and bactericidal emitters is not accompanied by the release of ozone, which is more preferable for quartzing at home. Depending on the radiation intensity of lamps for quartzing at home, several types of devices are distinguished:

• open type quartz lamps - these devices effectively destroy viruses and bacteria in the air and on the surface of objects in the treated room. During the action of these sources, a person should not be in the radiation zone. You should also exclude the presence of pets and indoor plants in the room. The use of lamps of an open design is appropriate when a sufficiently powerful periodic disinfection is required;
• closed-type quartz lamps - germicidal lamps in such a design are closed and cannot harm people and other living organisms in the room. The action of these irradiators takes place in a sparing mode and their use is most preferable in domestic conditions. The share of the spectrum of negative radiation in such devices is negligible or absent at all. It is not excluded their use, including for repelling insects. However, do not abuse the exposure to the irradiator;

• closed-type quartz portable sources - used for disinfection of air, as well as visible and hidden surfaces. It is used for preventive measures in case of illness of one of the family members. Promotes rapid recovery and prevents the spread of infection. The device is compact and can be installed in any convenient position.

Before you buy a lamp for quartzing a room, you should familiarize yourself with the possible effects of devices on the human body, the basic rules for using emitters at home and the key characteristics of popular models.

The principle of operation of quartz lamps for room disinfection

The design of a mercury-quartz lamp is a sealed glass flask filled with a mercury mass. When an electric current passes through it, UV radiation is formed, which has an antimicrobial effect on the air environment and the surface of objects in the treated room. The disinfection action occurs immediately after the device is connected to the network.

The main effect of the quartzization apparatus is to disinfect the air space by means of ultraviolet radiation. If your instruments use quartz glass, it allows all radiation generated by mercury, including ozone, to pass through. It is dangerous for all living organisms. That is why the treatment is carried out in the absence of people and animals, and after the procedure, the room is ventilated.

Bactericidal UV radiation is used as an effective method of combating pathogens, as well as a means of preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases in household and public premises. Such irradiation increases the level of activity of the body's defense mechanisms, normalizes respiratory functions, has a positive effect on blood clotting, and oxygen supply to the myocardium.

It is necessary to distinguish between quartz and bactericidal lamp models. The glass bulb of the latter is equipped with a protective layer that prevents the formation of a large amount of harmful ozone. This makes the operation of germicidal lamps less hazardous to health than quartz lamps. Despite this fact, the presence of people in the room during processing should be excluded.

Useful advice! The main source of danger for mercury irradiators is the risk of damage to the bulb and the spread of mercury vapor, which has a negative impact on human health.

The process of quartzing at home: the benefits and harms of UV treatment

Treatment of premises with ultraviolet rays helps to cleanse the air from bacteria, viruses and microbes. As a result of this procedure, the air is filled with ozone, which contributes to the better functioning of the human immune system and ensures the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. For proper quartzing at home, you need to know what benefits and harm such a process can bring.

The undoubted advantages of quartzing rooms at home include:

• prevention of viral infections such as ARVI and influenza;
• reducing the risk of spreading the infection by airborne droplets to healthy family members;
• relief of symptoms with inflamed adenoids, bronchitis and sinusitis;
• therapeutic effect for otitis media;
• treatment and prevention of skin diseases: acne, psoriasis, eczema and other ailments;
• relief of toothache, prevention of gum disease;
• prevention of inflammatory diseases of the joints, as well as treatment of osteochondrosis;
• prevention of rickets in children.

It is worth noting that if the instructions for using a quartz lamp are not followed, such devices can also have a harmful effect. Incorrect use for cosmetic procedures can cause eye burns with a quartz lamp. In addition, factors for cautious or unwanted use of irradiators include:

• personal intolerance - in this case, quartzing should be applied with extreme caution or should be abandoned altogether;
• sensitivity of the skin to UV rays;
• increased body temperature;

• the presence of oncological diseases - there is a possible risk of accelerating the formation of malignant tumors;
• high blood pressure - people with this disease should not use irradiators.

Rules for human exposure to a quartz lamp

In order for the use of the apparatus for quartzing at home to bring maximum benefit, one should take into account the fact that everyone's skin reacts differently to the action of ultraviolet rays. It depends on various factors: age, individual sensitivity, the state of the body, the type of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), the season of the procedures and other conditions.

• areas of the skin that are not involved in processing are covered with a dense cloth;
• the procedure begins after 5 minutes. after connecting the device to the network;
• the distance from the lamp to the irradiated skin surface should be 50 cm;
• before the procedure, the skin is evenly lubricated with cream or cosmetic oil;
• the initial exposure time is 30 sec. Each next session is increased gradually, adding 30 seconds. The duration of one procedure should not exceed 3 minutes;
• you cannot use the lamp to obtain a tanning effect.
