Infection Control

Diabetes is a chronic disease that impacts roughly 10 percent of the U.S. population. As much as 50 percent of population is prediabetic. This chronic disease, like all others, compromises the individual’s immune system.

Pregnant women have weakened immune systems, so homes and healthcare facilities need to be cleaned for biology rather than just dust bunnies. We strongly believe abundant research indicates that homemakers and professional cleaning crews must move toward environmental cleaning.

We often think only of person-to-person transmission of disease. And that path certainly is important to understanding how best to control infection. Often overlooked, however, is zoonotic disease

Bacteria, fungi and viruses notoriously love to hitch rides. And they are not picky about the vehicles. Clothes, shoes, hair, hands and countless other surfaces can carry pathogens to new places to take root.

Air quality is a crucial part of the equation that factors into our health. Zoonotic diseases, those that pass from species to species – move through the air. Wind patterns, humidity, temperatures; they all play a role in how viruses move.

The flu is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide each year. Scientists watch carefully for crossover viruses – transmission between hosts belonging to different species – as part of the quest to determine how best to contain harmful outbreaks.

Much of the disease found in the animal kingdom can be passed on to humans. Zoonotic bugs as they are called are responsible for considerable transmission of harmful disease to us. Many of the diseases we currently face are zoonotic.

Particles .3 microns in size and smaller can remain in the air for extended periods of time. If you put to use a laser particle counter inside your home or office, you would be able to see the myriad invisible particulates that always are with us.
