A content-filling system (10) includes a water sterilization line (50) that sterilizes water, an undiluted-solution sterilization line (70) that sterilizes a product undiluted solution, a water-filling device (21) that is connected to the water sterilization line (50) and is disposed in a first sterile chamber (70f), an undiluted-solution-filling device (22) that is connected to the undiluted-solution sterilization line (70) and is disposed in a second sterile chamber (70h), and a control unit (90) that controls the water-filling device (21) and the undiluted-solution-filling device (22). The control unit (90) causes the inside of the second sterile chamber (70h) to be cleaned with the inside of the first sterile chamber (70f) kept sterile. The control unit (90) causes the inside of the second sterile chamber (70h) to be sterilized with the inside of the first sterile chamber (70f) kept sterile.

Air decontamination formulations are disclosed comprising approximately 28% to approximately 38% by weight of the formulation of dipropylene glycol; approximately 0.12% to approximately 0.43% by weight of the formulation of an odor neutralizing cationic surfactant; approximately 28% to approximately 50% by weight of the formulation of an alcohol, preferably ethanol; and approximately 14% to approximately 33% by weight of the formulation of water. The disclosed air decontamination formulations sanitize or disinfect a volume of air less than or equal to 25 m.sup.3 in 0.1 to 5 minutes by providing equal to or greater than a 3 log.sub.10 reduction of aerosolized bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and aerosolized enveloped viruses, including Phi6.

A decontamination system configured to decontaminate an air supply space constructed between an air filter (which cleans air supplied to a work room with sterile environment) and a straightening plate (configured to straighten the clean air). Such system includes a decontamination agent discharging device provided in a work room, and a decontamination agent transfer device provided in the air supply space. When decontaminating an inside of the work room, the decontamination agent discharging device is operated to discharge the decontamination agent to the inside of the work room, and the decontamination agent transfer device is operated to suction, discharge, or circulate the decontamination agent between the work room and the air supply space. Consequently, both the air supply space and the work room are decontaminated.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for using a silver composition to disinfect surfaces are disclosed. One method (400, 900) includes providing (402, 902) a composition including H.sub.2O.sub.2 and silver particles (100) to an applicator device (300, 600) and applying (404, 904) the composition to a target type of surface. An apparatus includes an applicator device (600) configured to store a composition including H.sub.2O.sub.2 and silver particles (100), a processor (608), and a memory (606) to automatedly apply the composition to a target type of surface. One computer program product includes a computer-readable storage device (606) including code embodied therewith for using silver compositions to disinfect surfaces. The code is executable by a processor (608) to automatedly facilitate providing a composition including H.sub.2O.sub.2 and silver particles (100) to an applicator device (600) and automatedly facilitate applying the composition to a target type of surface.

The disclosure provides compositions comprising amino acids, individually and in combination, and methods of making the compositions and methods of using the compositions as pharmaceutically active agents to, inter alia, treat disease in animals, including humans.

A sterilization device (1) includes a peroxynitric acid gas generation section (10) and a sterilization treatment section (20). The peroxynitric acid gas generation section (10) generates peroxynitric acid gas obtained by gasifying a peroxynitric acid-containing liquid. In so doing, for example, the peroxynitric acid gas generation section (10) generates a peroxynitric acid mist by ultrasonically atomizing the peroxynitric acid-containing and causes the liquid, peroxynitric acid gas to be generated from the peroxynitric acid mist. The sterilization treatment section (20) applies the peroxynitric acid gas to a sterilization target (22) to sterilize the sterilization target (22).

A textile formulation adapted to impart an odor-controlling property to a textile material. The textile formulation is an odor capturing formulation comprising a carrier and an odor capturing agent. The odor capturing agent is a liquid dispersible boehmite. An odor absorbing article and a method of treating the odor absorbing article is also provided.

The present invention relates to an activated composition comprising a spherical activated carbon particle of a sphericity greater than 0.6 and at least one of a plurality of possible active agents. The composition effectively sequesters the malodors, which includes complex fishy smell containing no amines, sulfur-containing malodors, and volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, volatile aldehydes, and ethylene. The activated composition of the present invention may be useful in consumer, personal care, home care, and healthcare-related products and industrial applications.

A content-filling system (10) includes a water sterilization line (50) that sterilizes water, an undiluted-solution sterilization line (70) that sterilizes a product undiluted solution, a water-filling device (21) that is connected to the water sterilization line (50) and is disposed in a first sterile chamber (70f), an undiluted-solution-filling device (22) that is connected to the undiluted-solution sterilization line (70) and is disposed in a second sterile chamber (70h), and a control unit (90) that controls the water-filling device (21) and the undiluted-solution-filling device (22). The control unit (90) causes the inside of the second sterile chamber (70h) to be cleaned with the inside of the first sterile chamber (70f) kept sterile. The control unit (90) causes the inside of the second sterile chamber (70h) to be sterilized with the inside of the first sterile chamber (70f) kept sterile.
