A composition is provided for a disinfectant fogger and cleaner for interior surfaces of confined spaces. The composition is water based and has an aqueous disinfectant containing quaternary ammonium compounds as active disinfecting ingredients, non-ionic surfactants, and a malodor absorbing agent. The composition provides a disinfectant for hard-nonporous and soft surfaces and allows for immediate occupancy and contact with a cleaned interior surface. The composition may be packaged as a ready-to-use disinfectant spray in an aerosol container with an on/off lockable discharge actuator as fine mist droplets that are dispersed onto the target surfaces for treatment.

A non-biological, visible light photoreactor is provided, the photoreactor comprising: a fiberglass sheet, which includes fibers and interstitial spaces between the fibers; and a low iron oxide content, iron-doped titanium dioxide film on the fibers, the film containing about 0.5 atomic percent iron and an iron oxide content of less than about 0.075 atomic percent iron. The photoreactor may be configured as a tube with a light emitting diode housed therein, a cap at one end of the tube that has inlets to accept pressurized air and a plate at the other end of the tube, such that the air is forced through the photoreactor.

An energized assembly to disseminate a treatment agent in vapor phase to a local environment. The assembly includes an emanator element to hold treatment agent, and a flameless energizing source to facilitate volatization of the treatment agent. Preferred embodiments operate for a period of time of between about 4 and 8 hours, and can then be discarded. Typically, a housing associates the treatment agent and the energizing source. Embodiments may sometimes include one or more of: a gas-tight boundary element, a thermal transfer element, a trigger mechanism, a safety mechanism, a termination mechanism, a time-delay mechanism, solidized treatment agent to avoid spills, and a sequestering arrangement.

A material for sterilization and deodorization according to the present invention comprises: a porous molded body formed by compressing and heat-treating aluminosilicate-based inorganic particles; and sodium chlorite present by being adsorbed on the surface and pores of the porous molded body. Thus, the material is excellent in durability, has excellent sterilization performance and deodorization performance by discharging chlorine dioxide gas according to atmospheric exposure, and exhibits an effect of continuously maintaining the initial performance for a long time. In addition, the degree to which sodium chlorite contacts and reacts with the atmosphere is controlled so that environmental and stability problems caused by chlorine dioxide emitted by the reaction can be overcome. Since the duration of natural decomposition can be controlled, there is an effect of making it possible to use the material in an environmentally friendly manner in the natural environment and ecosystem.

A self-adhering vent cover allows a user to improve the appearance of a vent while facilitating sufficient airflow for the continued use of a heating, cooling, or air-ventilation system. The present disclosure also provides for the distribution of essential oils within an indoor environment via the use of a heating, cooling, or air-ventilation system.
