I dug this out of a 2020 science paper----it's about reusing N95 masks--- Disinfection of disposable PPE can be attempted whenever the supply is limited during pandemics [6,7]. Reuse of N95 respirators has been proposed by CDC [4], but this carries a risk of contamination and infection of HCWs. Disinfection of N95 respirators may provide an alternative option. The disinfection process is faster using SteraMist, a hand-held device, than the conventional platform, which uses a higher concentration of H2O2 vapour (30% – 35%) and requires concealment of the air ventilation system and longer cycle times. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation has also been used for the disinfection of N95 respirators, but it has been shown to degrade polymers,
Is he also talking about his 2% return. Do disinfectants kill newer variants of coronavirus? List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 View List N, a searchable and sortable list of products for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel human coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Yes, EPA expects all products on List N to kill all variants of SARS-CoV-2. Genetic changes to the virus do not impact the efficacy of disinfectants. Viruses can be killed by disinfectants because of their basic physical properties, and the recent mutations to SARS-CoV-2 have not changed these physical features. EPA regulates the claims on disinfectant product labels. Before a company can sell or market a disinfectant whose label claims to kill a certain pathogen, EPA must authorize that claim during the registration process. In some limited cases, companies can make efficacy claims that aren’t on the product label as specified in EPA’s Emerging Viral Pathogens policy. See: What is an emerging viral pathogen claim? If companies choose to test disinfectant products against multiple variants of viruses or bacteria, EPA allows companies to state that their product kills those variants on the product label as long as those claims are supported by sound science and testing data. Some disinfectant products have been tested against different coronavirus variants. You can find out which variants a product has been tested against on the product’s label.
and we are on List N. STERAMIST NOW ON EPA LIST N FOR EFFICACY AGAINST SARS CoV-2 Published: Mar 18, 2020 BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (OTCQB:TOMZ), is a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination, utilizing its premier Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) platform through its SteraMist products - a hydrogen peroxide-based mist and fog composed of ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP). Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) Solution has qualified to meet the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides with the SteraMist Environment System for room fogging/misting against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (COVID-19).
I'm thinking the following. TOMZ is moving because maybe the new Covid going around adheres to surfaces (guessing) and so many many companies must use the MIST or some other idea... But for a $1 company....
