1. An air handling system comprising:
a housing or duct having an inlet for receiving an air stream and an outlet;
a turbulence generator associated with said inlet for receiving said air stream and for generating a turbulent air stream in proximity to said inlet in response thereto;
a decontamination energy generator for creating a decontamination energy that is applied to said turbulent air stream after entering said inlet to provide a decontaminated air stream that is at least partially decontaminated; and
an air moderator for receiving said modulated and decontaminated air steam inside said housing and for causing a linear or laminar air stream before entering said outlet and thereafter causing said linear or laminar flow to flow out of said outlet in response thereto;
wherein said air moderator comprises a linear or laminar air stream generator for receiving said turbulent air stream and for generating said linear or laminar air stream in response thereto;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator generates said linear air stream during or after said decontamination energy generator applies electromagnetic energy to said turbulent air stream;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator comprises at least one of air channels, baffles, walls, perforations, cylinders, ducts, louvers, valves grilles, wings, flaps grids, grates, wires or foils, to reduce turbulence in said decontaminated air stream;
wherein said decontamination energy generator is situation between said turbulence generator and said air moderator;
wherein said air moderator is situation inside said housing or duct and between said inlet and said outlet and is exposed to said decontamination energy from said decontamination energy generator.
