Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Safeguards Travelers with UV-C Systems
The $7.5 million air disinfection initiative will improve the air quality in all five of DFW's terminals and its rental car center.
Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport installed ultraviolet-C (UV-C) equipment from UV Resources as part of its multilayered infection control strategy designed to reduce passenger exposure to any infectious pathogens, including the coronavirus. UV-C has documented efficacy at reducing bacteria, mold exposures, and viruses.
The $7.5 million air disinfection initiative will improve the air quality in all five of DFW's terminals and its rental car center. In November 2020, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) or UV-C disinfection fixtures were installed in 28 air-handling units (AHUs) that serve the building's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints and ticket counters. Since then, 229 additional UV-C fixtures have been installed in the airport's HVAC systems that serve passenger terminals, gate areas, and food courts.
