    Abstract: An UV-C based anti-microbial air circulation system for a suspended ceiling. The air circulation system comprises a UV light assembly having an internal chamber containing at least one UVC light. The UV light assembly is bookended by an intake assembly on one side and an exhaust assembly on the opposite side. An internal channel flows from an intake opening into the UV light assembly and out an exhaust opening. Angled fans move the air through the system so that air is exposed to at least one tenth of one second of UV-C light to disinfect it.
