“respiratory activities such as coughing and deep breathing are a major source of aerosol particles, and this has the potential to expose healthcare workers to an increased risk of infection. “
“Quantitative analysis shows that the addition of whole-room atomized disinfection to existing terminal cleaning protocols lowered manual labor times, improved disinfection outcomes, and eliminated the transfer of bacterial tracers to previously uncontaminated surfaces within patient rooms.”
Based on our analysis, we recommend that the aerosolization of hypochlorous acid at 200 ppm is an important addition to conventional disinfection in combating aerosolized viruses. Conventional disinfection is a 2-D solution, but we are fighting a 3-D war (a “STAR War”), and hypochlorous acid provides that extra dimension of fighting power.
“Due to the neutral pH of the HOCL, it is non-toxic, does not leave residue on environmental surfaces, and is not corrosive to hospital equipment as traditional bleach and phenolics have long demonstrated.”

The first step was to atomize a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered hospital-grade disinfectant containing HOCl as the active ingredient approved for use in fogging, atomizing, or aerosol applications…
Revised cleaning regime in each guestroom and public areas, which will include a bespoke sanitisation treatment spray, using Hypochlorous acid which is an extra layer of sterilisation.
Unlike harsh chemicals and bleach, HOCl solutions can be safely used for fogging to eliminate the possibility of airborne infection. Fogging with HOCl can cover larger areas with a dry mist, allowing tiny droplets to take effect in both open and closed surroundings.
“The RBD mutations that can simultaneously disrupt the existing antibodies (vaccine escape mutations) and make SARS-CoV-2 more infectious may pose a looming threat to the current set of approved vaccines.”
“respiratory activities such as coughing and deep breathing are a major source of aerosol particles, and this has the potential to expose healthcare workers to an increased risk of infection. “
“In addition to surface disinfection, hypochlorous acid can be used to fog building interiors to capture and remove suspended aerosolized virus particles.”
“Just as we all adjust to common-sense public health interventions that initially feel at best inconvenient and at worst an insult to our self-efficacy, we eventually see the value of preventive measures that save lives. We all agree to wear seat belts; understand that helmets protect football players...”
"Cleaner indoor air won’t just fight the pandemic, it will minimize the risk of catching flu and other respiratory infections that cost the U.S. more than $50 billion a year, researchers said in a study in the journal Science on Friday. "
“....systems should also be demand-controlled to adjust for different room occupancies, and differing activities and breathing rates, such as exercising in a gym versus sitting in a movie theatre, according to Morawska. For spaces that cannot improve ventilation to an appropriate level for the use of the space, she said air filtration and disinfection will be needed.”
"Cleaner indoor air won’t just fight the pandemic, it will minimize the risk of catching flu and other respiratory infections that cost the U.S. more than $50 billion a year, researchers said in a study in the journal Science on Friday. "
"Droplet transmission is infection spread through exposure to virus-containing respiratory droplets (i.e., larger and smaller droplets and particles) exhaled by an infectious person."
Dr Tang says that by having that reassurance about air quality, "we will see restaurants more easily regaining diners' trust, and employees more confidently returning to offices".
"Shifting to an airborne prevention approach will be life-saving for people working in high-risk essential jobs, and for the families to whom they bring home the infection."
“The new focus (airborne threat) underscores the need for the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue standards for employers to address potential hazards in the workplace...”
"Keep the air clean, avoid getting exposed...”
“...natural dry fog sanitization (using Hypochlorous) will change the way indoor spaces are kept clean and germ free...”
“airborne transmission poses the greatest risk of infection. Prather (MIT) and those in her field say they welcome such research and hope it prompts the World Health Organization and the CDC to focus on the primary mechanism..”
Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT)
"The principal mode by which people are infected with SARS-CoV-2 is through exposure to respiratory droplets carrying infectious virus."
“...staterooms, suites and public areas will be cleaned, sanitized and disinfected at an increased frequency, including fogging in staterooms and public areas with the disinfectant hypochlorous acid (HOCI). Hypochlorous acid is a non-toxic, powerful oxidant that effectively kills bacteria, spores, and viruses.”
“So governments and health leaders should heed the science and focus their efforts on airborne transmission. Safer indoor environments are required...”
“Hallways and open spaces are regularly sprayed with a disinfectant aerosol or fogged with disinfectants such as hypochlorous acid”
“Far more important is airborne transmission -- and people who obsessively disinfect surfaces may be doing more harm than good..
"CDC determined that the risk of surface transmission is low, and secondary to the primary routes of virus transmission through direct contact droplets and aerosols,"
“Once the pandemic hit, everyone was looking for safer solutions, and the adoption rate (of HOCl) was overwhelming.”
“Atlanta Falcons and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium have chosen their disinfectant for the stadium. The disinfectant is a non-toxic Hypochlorous Acid solution that, officials say, is in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for maximum effectiveness without being harmful.”
"Are dental office is safe right now? Questions to ask. Do they “mist each treatment room between patients with HOCl or hypochlorous acid, which is a powerful and safe disinfectant.”
"HOCl has been shown to inactivate a variety of viruses including coronaviruses in less than 1 minute. ...HOCl is effective in decontaminating... noroviruses and other enteric viruses in a 1-minute contact time."

"...delivered in a...spray using a special humidifier... remove environmental pathogens from the air, Dr. Abraham told Medscape Medical News... it brings down most of the disease-causing pathogenic organisms," he said. These include bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The 5 μm droplets produced in the ultrasonic humidifier can entangle smaller particles and remove them from the air.
“...we show that airborne transmission, particularly via nascent aerosols from human atomization, is highly virulent and represents the dominant route for the transmission of this disease.”
"There is overwhelming evidence that inhalation represents a major transmission route...”
“A continuous aerosol spray with a nontoxic disinfectant can control airborne pathogens...”
“Viruses are spread through aerosols. We have enough evidence. Now is the time to act.”
“It is important to think about... air cleaning. Times are different now, and we need to learn how to best use systems to decrease the risks."
“The balance of attention must be shifted to protecting against airborne transmission...because people are “far more likely” to breathe in floating virus than be sprayed by quickly falling droplets...”
“...it [has] become increasingly clear that aerosol transmission—breathing, speaking, coughing, sneezing, and singing— spread the virus.”
"Air cleaning needs to be continuous in the spaces we inhabit. As long as there are living, breathing people in a space, we’re potentially contaminating it with virus."
"On March 12, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) adopted a National Emphasis Program (NEP) on COVID-19, effective immediately, which signals the agency will devote more resources towards virus-related inspections during the next several months."
"CDC acknowledged coronavirus spread can occur through airborne particles, which can linger in the air for minutes to hours and end up infecting individuals who were more than 6 feet away from each other."
"The Biden administration is using disinfectant misting services to clear the air of lingering droplets."
"It’s time to stop pussyfooting around the fact that the virus is transmitted mostly through the air,” said Linsey Marr, an expert on aerosols at Virginia Tech."
"Using hypochlorous acid (HOCL) as an aerosolised disinfectant is one way to overcome the aforementioned issues, by safely disinfecting the ambient air that people breathe within the environments they inhabit... It is an established fact that to date no virus exists that HOCL cannot safely eradicate."
"The disinfectant is a non-toxic Hypochlorous Acid solution that...is in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for maximum effectiveness without being harmful."

"2/3 of consumers are more likely to patronize restaurants and businesses that practice air and surface Disinfection."
"....very excited about a lot of these technologies … and as you mentioned Misting with Hypochlorous acid."
“. ...guidance tracks with what health officials and medical experts have already advised -- that the risk of passing on or becoming infected with the respiratory virus through "fomite" surfaces is low, compared to direct contact, droplet or airborne transmission.”
“If hotels are taking the proper precautions, they should be disinfecting [with a device] that sprays a mist into the air and kills airborne pathogens...”
