As the global pandemic continues to spread, we must come up with new and innovative ways to prevent and eliminate contamination. The battle begins with electrostatic disinfection. This method of sanitation has become vital in safeguarding the health and well-begin of our communities.
By using an electrostatic sprayer, we are able to maximize the effectiveness of disinfectants. The technology works by spraying a positively charged mist onto objects and surfaces. The electrostatic mist then aggressively attracts all negatively charged particles and contaminants to effectively eliminate any potential viruses present.
Many buildings, offices and spaces with high traffic should consider implementing electrostatic disinfection services for their locations. Having a high flow of traffic in a particular space increases the likelihood that germs, viruses and bacteria become present. Especially in spaces like gyms, dance halls and other recreational facilities where the concentration of people is typically high.
Depending on the type of solution used and how it is applied, the question arises of how safe it is to human health? The answer to that question depends on a series of factors, if you are using a chemical solution that is based with an active ingredient like ammonia, chlorine, ethanol, etc. there are definitely health risks associated. In most cases, inhaling any type of fumes or fine mists can potentially cause long-term effects on a persons health. Especially when sprayed into a closed environment like an office or a space with little circulation of fresh air. Solutions based with hydrogen-peroxide, sodium carbonate, and other less toxic mixtures are generally more favorable and considered safer. These solutions do not pose as much of risk as their counterparts. Although, Inhaling fine mists of these types of disinfectants is still not advisable.
For more information on accepted disinfectants for COVID-19, refer to the EPA’s List N: Disinfectants for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Disinfectants in general are should not be inhaled, ingested or put in contact with any sensitive areas of the body. In the event that something like this does occur, immediately seek help and call an ambulance.
