Food recalls can inflict permanent reputation damage to product lines and companies, and wreak financial havoc. Potential for contamination exists throughout the supply chain: from the fields and slaughterhouses to the transport vehicles (including refrigerated trucks and containers that often harbor mold), to the manufacturing plant and again to the vehicles that will transport product to its retail destination. Cleaning protocols put in place to mitigate the risk of contamination touch on all areas of the facilities: from employee locker rooms, to processing equipment, and from restrooms to receiving areas. Thinking about food contamination and doing everything possible to ensure safe food is a critical challenge for facilities directors of agricultural and food processing plants.By using our E Water equipment to kill a vast array of pathogens on a daily basis, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors, food processors can improve the overall environment in their facilities, save costs and reduce toxic chemical use.
One of the greatest challenges for athletic facilities is controlling against the spread of infectious diseases through contact with exercise equipment, sports gear, gym mats, artificial turfs, trainer’s tables, whirlpools and locker room benches and floors. Those infections can run the gamut from flu virus and MRSA to an array of skin infections which include athlete’s foot, impetigo and wrestler’s herpes. In a recent report on the proliferation of skin diseases among the athletic community and strategies for combating outbreaks, the National Athletic Trainers Association argues that “a clean environment must be maintained in the athletic training facility, locker rooms, and all athletic venues.” Nothing can ruin a good season like an outbreak of flu or MRSA. Whether professional or collegiate, teams that lose key players lose games. And losing games can mean losing financial support at the turnstiles or from donors. By using our E Water equipment to kill a vast array of pathogens on a daily basis, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors, athletic facility owners can improve the overall environment in their facilities, save costs and reduce toxic chemical use.
It’s often said by people that they “live in” their cars. Aside from children, car pool buddies and pets, drivers are taking unwanted passengers along for the ride: Germs. Studies conducted by universities and the automotive industry have exposed automobiles as some of the dirtiest environments encountered in our everyday lives. These studies – by Ford Motor Company, the University of Michigan, University of Arizona microbiologist Dr. Chuck Gerba, and the U.K.’s Aston University in Birmingham – all came to similar conclusions, identifying pathogens such as E. coli, salmonella, campylobacter and even MRSA in samples taken from steering wheels, gear shifts, cup holders, dashboards, change holders and seats. One study turned up mold all over a child safety seat.
It’s often said that Americans have a love affair with restaurants: Over 70 billion restaurant meals are served each year in the United States, and more than 47% of every dollar spent on food is spent in the country’s restaurants, delis, cafeterias and catering halls. On any given day four in ten Americans will eat at least one meal in a foodservice establishment. Unfortunately, for too many of those restaurant customers, eating out can get them more than just a meal: the Center for Disease Control estimates that annual foodborne illnesses can be as high as 48 million. While that figure is based on projections of unreported illness, hard data from the CDC points to over 1,000 annual outbreaks of foodborne illness in recent years. Foodborne illnesses such as salmonella, E. coli, norovirus, listeria and shigella can occur in the cleanest restaurant or foodservice establishment.
While they attract millions of visitors each year, cruise ships, hotels, amusement parks, tourist attractions and casinos are areas where infectious diseases can easily be transmitted due to the multitude of common touchpoints. For many of the industry sectors, the issue is a direct existential threat as media reports attract headlines, sometimes deterring people at the height of the booking season. Business and pleasure travelers are increasingly cognizant of the threats associated with travel and look to organizations that take proactive approaches to addressing their concerns. By using our E Water equipment to kill vast array of pathogens on a daily basis, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors, the hospitality industry can improve the overall environment in their facilities, save costs and reduce toxic chemical use while creating a better customer experience.
Millions of people around the world walk in and out of trains, buses, airplanes and taxis every day. Subway stations, bus depots and airports are swarming with people at all hours. Every time someone coughs or sneezes and then touches something, there is an increased chance for spreading germs. Transfer of those microbes to a surface such as a bus seat, an airplane tray, a subway strap, a turnstile, or a token vending machine is inevitable and occurs continuously. As such, public transportation can be a very dangerous place – and a perfect catalyst for transmission of germs to outbreak or even epidemic levels. By using our E Water equipment to kill vast array of pathogens on a daily basis, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors,transportation providers can improve the overall environment in their operations, save costs and reduce toxic chemical use.
Even the cleanest houses are home to various kinds of surface-damaging bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold and mildew. Surfaces that include kitchen counters, TV remotes and bathroom floors can contain high levels of microbial contamination. When family members touch those surfaces, the transfer of those microbes can begin, leading to cross-contamination. Staphylococcus, salmonella and E. coli are among the most common pathogens encountered in residential settings, and, regardless of where a contamination originates (e.g. mishandled raw meats, the bathroom, pets or wet basements), can all cause serious illness. In the meantime, the presence of mold in the home can have negative implications for the structure, a home’s market value, and the well-being of its inhabitants. Exterior surfaces are particularly susceptible to mold, with some forms being toxic. Exterior mold is primarily found on siding, patio furniture and decks, while interior mold is often hidden from plain sight. Mold on shower curtains and bathtub stalls is usually not difficult to detect, which is not always the case with mold in the attic, in the basement or inside of walls. For many individuals, mold can have adverse health effects. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine linked indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms in otherwise healthy people. The potential for illness is exacerbated, it said, in infants, children and the elderly, as well as in individuals with allergies or compromised immune systems.By using our E Water equipment to kill vast array of pathogens, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors,homeowners can improve the overall environment, save costs and reduce toxic chemical use.
Schools and childcare facilities can be breeding grounds for a wide array of bacteria and viruses. So much so that, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), infectious diseases account for millions of school days lost each year in the United States. In fact, their reports indicate that nearly 38 million school days are lost each year due to the influenza virus while an additional 22 million school days are lost due to colds. In addition to concern for the well-being of the student and teacher populations, lost days due to infectious disease can have a financial impact as state funding is often tied to attendance.By using our E Water equipment to kill vast array of pathogens on a daily basis, with an annual application of SD Pro to continually combat bacteria that can cause damage, stains and odors,academic facilities can improve the overall environment for students, staff and visitors while saving costs and reducing toxic chemical use.
For many of us, more time is spent in the workplace than anywhere else. It is not surprising that offices, factories and other workplace facilities have germs spread all throughout their environments. Exposure to these germs can cause illness which can adversely impact productivity, operational costs, health care costs, morale and most importantly the health of employees. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention estimates that up to 80% of all infections are spread by hand contact with contaminated surfaces and direct human contact. The Journal of Environmental Medicine (JOEM) suggests that respiratory illness alone can cost as much as $134 per employee per year and 1.4 hours of lost productivity per day. Some bacteria can live for two hours or more on a hard surface while others can remain for much longer periods of time. Research has shown that greater than one-third of employees are germ conscious and care about the health and cleanliness of the workplace.
