UV-C light is pretty high energy light, which breaks down molecules and thus kills off germs. But breaking down molecules also means it creates free radicals - highly reactive short-lifetime chemical compounds, that seek to react with other things they come into contact with. 4 comments
That smell of freshly baked bread and sweets has a lot of chemicals in it, disassembling those chemicals and re-assembling them in a random way is quite a chemical experiment. On the other hand, fine enough filters (think HEPA) can remove viruses, and a carbon filter after particle filter can also serve as reactant to safely react with reactive chemicals in air and remove free radicals and VOC. |

This might mean combining with one another in the air and creating entirely new chemicals that have very little with their original source chemicals.
This might also mean damaging your tissue if you come into contact with them, most likely by inhaling.
