The EPA publishes strict guidelines to test and verify the efficacy of cleaning and decontamination solutions.
To verify the efficiency and log reduction of SteraMist™ proprietary technology, six laboratories were engaged to test against a wide variety of some of the most harmful microbial pathogens with the following results.
This list is by no means exhaustive. SteraMist™ and BIT™ have proven field efficacy against a wide range of contaminants.
