Abstract: Disclosed is a mailbox sanitization device employing ultraviolet lamps mounted therein. The lamps are activated after placement of mail, postcards, packages and the like into the mailbox for approximately 60 seconds. The ultraviolet lamp may further produce residual ozone sufficient to destroy most viruses found on the materials placed within the mailbox. The mailbox may be operated in remote areas by use of low voltage or in a commercial setting for protection of postal employees.

Abstract: The instant invention is a filtration system for use in residential and commercial buildings. The filtration apparatus consists of a galvanized steel for support of a tactified filter followed by a 254 nm ultraviolet light with the sterilized air then passed through an activated carbon filter for removal of chemical vapors. The filtration apparatus works in conjunction with a remotely located power supply pack which includes an air pressure activator so as to allow operation of the ultraviolet lights only when air movement is detected in a ventilation system. Installation of the device is compact, allowing placement in residential locations in conventional heater and air conditioning systems.
