advanced oxidation for infectious diseases and indoor air

 

Advanced Oxidation creates an airborne plasma basically consisting of friendly oxidizers. Friendly being those found in nature that return to oxygen and water after they oxidize, such as hydroperoxides. The process is like misting the air with an atomized or very fine mist of hydrogen peroxide. A series of tests were conducted by Kansas State University, who also works closely with Sandia National Labs. The first results were outstanding with a kill rate of 78% of the microbes from a sneeze at three feet. A more advanced cell, REME or Reflective Electro-Magnetic Energy, was developed that ionized the Advanced Oxidation plasma making it far more effective on a broader scope of contaminates. REME sneeze test results showed 88% reductions. During the SARS scare a years ago, the Chinese Government installed Advanced Oxidation Cells in city buses and subways after determining it killed the deadly SARS virus. A Chinese manufacturer’s licensed the Technology for use on China buses and subways. It is a normal reaction to question the long-term safety of any product that is effective and uses new or “breakthrough” technology. This type of question has become common as our litigious society has taught us to question things that significantly outperform existing methods or products. The breakthrough in the Advanced Oxidation technologies is a group of oxidants known as Hydroperoxides. Hydroperoxides have been a common part of our environment for over 3.5 billion years. Hydroperoxides are created in our atmosphere whenever three components are present: oxygen molecules, water vapor and energy (electro magnetic). REME technology also has the ability to super charge these hydroperoxides or ionize them into Ionized-Hydro-Peroxides. Ionized-Hydro-Peroxides are very effective at destroying harmful microbials in the air and on surfaces. As oxidants, they do this by either destroying the microbe through a process known as cell lysing or by changing its molecular structure and rendering it harmless (which is typically the case in VOC’s and odors). The amount of hydroperoxides required to accomplish this task in a conditioned space is below the level that is constantly in our outside air. The Advanced Oxidation technology has brought the oxidants found in the outside air into the indoor conditioned air. One of the best features of Ionized-Hydro-Peroxides™ is as they settle out of the air they disinfect surfaces. This was validated in a Kansas State University Bio Chamber on stainless steel surfaces, resulting in a 99+% kill on numerous viruses and bacteria. There is no known case of hydroperoxides ever creating a health risk.

what are hydroperoxides?

 

  • Hydroperoxides are known as Mother Nature’s natural, environmentally friendly cleaning agent.

  • Responsible for the air smelling so clean after a thunderstorm.

  • The combination of ions from lightning, water and sun increase the natural level of hydrogen peroxide, thereby cleaning the air.

  • Typical natural outdoor levels of hydroperoxides run between .01 to .03 ppm.

  • The Government safety guideline on hydroperoxide gas is 1.0 ppm 

  • Hydroperoxide levels of .01 ppm are now recognized by the EPA as an effective infection control and microbial treatment technology.

  • Both REME and PHI devices produce .01 to .02 ppm Hydroperoxide which is 50 times less than the Government safety limit.
