Will there be any benefit to say putting it in the air duct? Like on a forced air system the main exhaust from the unit (I'm guessing it's exhaust but that sounds wrong). I know some air filters are supposed to filter out airborne viruses and whatnot but I have no way of testing that. But I know what ultraviolet will do. And I'd have to assume sitting in the metal ductwork wouldn't really hurt anything.
