ADB safety compared to other methods

A key advantage for PathogenFocus Air Disinfection Biosecurity (patent pending) units is safety (when used as per manufacturer's guidelines). Operation requires no storage, handling, and disposal of dangerous chemicals and involves no hazardous gases or irradiation - resulting in no disruption of daily operations. ADB is designed and engineered for use in occupied spaces - which is often where  you need us the most. From a safety perspective, how does ADB compare to some other popular methods of pathogen elimination?

CleaningChemicals

CHEMICALS

  • Abrasive, caustic. Dangerous to skin and eyes
  • Imperfect - humans miss spots, air and surfaces can remain unclean
  • Does not address potential spread between cleanings - must continuously, manually clean
ions2

BIPOLAR IONIZATION

  • Questionable efficacy
  • Recent lawsuits are raising concerns that there is a possibility of hazardous by-products
  • Environmental Protection Agency has cautioned against its use (source)
UVCsmall

UVC (ULTRAVIOLET)

  • 254nm UVC light can damage skin and eyes
  • Limited to line of sight. Obstructed areas receive less dosage
ADBsafety3

ADB

  • Continuous disinfection in occupied spaces
  • No added chemicals required
  • Can reach the hard-to-reach areas - not limited to line-of-sight
  • Effective for both surfaces and air
