1. An air sterilization system for removing biological contaminants and particulates from ambient air and surfaces in an enclosed space, comprising:
- compressor means for generating a flow of ambient air through said air sterilization system;
filtering means for filtering said flow of ambient air to remove said harmful biological contaminants and particulates from said air to produce filtered air;
first ultraviolet means for generating ultraviolet radiation at a first wavelength to destroy harmful biological airborne contaminants and particulates in said filtered flow of ambient air;
ozone generator means for converting oxygen from said filtered flow of ambient air into ozone, wherein said ozone destroys said biological contaminants and particulates on said surfaces in said enclosed space; and
control means for activating one of said first ultraviolet means and said second ultraviolet means exclusive of the other of said first ultraviolet means and said second ultraviolet means.

Abstract
The bio-air sterilization system removes harmful contaminants and particulates, such as bacteria, viruses and molds, from air within an enclosed area, as well as from the surfaces located within the enclosed area, while also maintaining a safe workplace for individuals. The bio-air sterilization system uses a compressor to circulate indoor air through a pre-ionization field, an air filter, a dual ultraviolet system located within the bio-air sterilization system.
