1. An air purifier comprising:

  • a high mass-flow rate air-mover having an inlet and an outlet, a low mass-flow rate ultra-violet radiation decontamination device having an inlet and an outlet, said decontamination device mounted in spaced relation to said air-mover so as to space said inlet of said air-mover from said inlet of said decontamination device, said inlet of said decontamination device disposed oppositely to said inlet of said air-mover relative to said outlet of said decontamination device along a low mass-flow rate flow path of a low mass-flow rate air flow passing ambient air into said inlet of said decontamination device, through said decontamination device so as to pass for an operative dwell time into operative proximity to at least one UV emitter mounted in said decontamination device and so as to exit from said outlet of said air-mover to then be drawn into said inlet of said air-mover, said air-mover spaced from said decontamination device so as to draw into said inlet of said air-mover a second air-flow of said ambient air, said second air flow flowing along a second flow path wherein said second flow path does not flow within said operative proximity to said at least one UV emitter. wherein said low mass-flow rate air flow and said second air flow cumulatively form a high mass-flow rate flow being urged by said air-mover through said air-mover so as to expel said high mass-flow rate air flow into said ambient air.
