Zusammenfassung:An apparatus used with supplied power for treating air in an environment and method of use. A housing is mobile in the environment and has an intake and an exhaust. At least one prime mover is disposed in the housing and is operable to move the air in the environment through the housing from the intake to the exhaust. At least one ultraviolet light source is disposed in the housing, is in electrical communication with the supplied power, and is configured to generate ultraviolet radiation in at least one a portion of the housing through which the moved air passes from the intake to the exhaust. At least one permeable barrier is disposed in the housing and is configured to impede the moved air flow therethrough up to an impedance threshold. The permeable barrier is in electrical communication to the supplied power and is heated to a surface temperature.
