The inventors of the present disclosure recognized that, surprisingly, the antimicrobial treatments used on cellulosic sponges do not work in hydrophilic polyurethane sponges. As such, the inventors of the present disclosure discovered a need for an antimicrobial treatment for use on hydrophilic polyurethane foam sponges. The present inventors invented one antimicrobial composition for use on hydrophilic polyurethane foam sponges including an acetate salt solution humectant. The present inventors invented another antimicrobial composition for use on hydrophilic polyurethane foam sponges including a non-halogen humectant comprising a salt solution having a pH between about 3 and 10 and a water activity of less than 0.9 at 25° C.

A computer-implemented method, thermographic system, and computer program product may include receiving, on a computing device, a thermal image of a host body. The thermal image may be captured by a thermographic camera. A presence of a cold-blooded animal on the host body may be detected based upon temperature information from the thermal image.

A composition including a poorly water-soluble agrochemical active compound and a solid medium including a saponification product of polyvinyl acetate including at least one of a sulfonic acid group and a sulfonate group is described. The poorly water-soluble agrochemical active compound is dispersed in the solid medium.
