摘要： Disclosed herein are stages for a disinfection apparatus. Each stage may include one or more emitters configured to emit electromagnetic energy (e.g., ultraviolet light or infrared light or both) upon a fluid flow and/or one or more filters configured to filter the fluid flow. Also disclosed herein are disinfection apparatuses and methods for imparting electromagnetic energy upon a fluid flow. In some variations, the disinfection apparatus includes emitters configured to emit ultraviolet light or infrared light or both upon the fluid flow. A filter of the disinfection apparatus is configured to filter the fluid flow. A body of the disinfection apparatus defines a tortuous flow path delineating at least two turns such that the fluid flow changes direction at least twice as the fluid flow proceeds through the tortuous flow path.
