Infection Control / Indoor Air Quality Particles the size of microbes and viruses remains suspended in the air indefinitely

Indoor Air Quality and Infection Control Normal Indoor air has between 200,000 and 300,000 particles per cubic foot Sub-micron particles have so little mass and weight they act more like a gas than a particle The settling rate for sub-micron particles is less that 2 feet per 24 hour period. It is possible with air movement from HVAC and people moving to have these particles suspended indefinitely. Particles can be ingested or will become fomites, supporting direct contact infection Particulate is a key driver of Asthma, allergies and COPD

Understanding the problem American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) publishes ground breaking document on the transmission of viruses and microbes through the air and HVAC systems. The study identifies the follow: adenovirus, influenza virus*, rubeola virus (measles)*, meningococcal disease, mumps virus*, pertussis (whooping cough), parvovirus B19, respiratory syncitial virus (RSV), rubella virus, tuberculosis*, and varicella (human herpesvirus 3). Because of the shear scale of the particulate in the air, it is impossible to determine biological pathogens from particle. Hence, we must consider all particulate as potentially dangerous

Solution to the problem Containment Filter Four grades of filter capable of being used on all types of HVAC units. Series 90 residential / commercial (90%) MERV 16 Series 200 375 hospital grade filtration (99.5%) to above HEPA levels of filtration Easy to install Used on the inside of the return air vents Captures particulate at the source Operational expense / Not a capital expense

Fix the slippery problems Anti-Slip Product Prevents Slips Works on all surfaces Quick & Easy install Product Guaranteed Done in minutes to a few hours Benefits Current information Works on all floors / boots / rubber / yoga mats / bathtubs / showers and more! Affordable, safe and durable Lower your liability insurance rates Reduce your mats and monthly costs Product cost is tax deductible 97% + water with no smell Invisible, surfaces look cleaner & clean easier

The System Surfaces Protected Air filtered / monitored for humidity and particulate Near Clean Room Standards Safe Surface Clean Air Indoor Safe accounts for mistakes in cleaning and providing safe floors
