A system for and a method of eliminating a virus within a vehicle. The system includes a sterilizer positioned within a vehicle and configured to eliminate a virus within the vehicle while operating, a detection sensor that detects whether or not an occupant is present within the vehicle, and a sterilization controller that controls operation of the sterilizer with a preset operation profile on the basis of a result of the detection sensor detecting whether or not the occupant is present within the vehicle.

The invention relates to sterilisation systems suitable for clinical use, e.g. on the human body, medical apparatuses, or hospital bed spaces. In particular, the invention provides a sterilisation apparatus comprising: a sterilisation device having a hydroxyl radical generating region and an outlet for directing generated hydroxyl radicals out of the hydroxyl radical generating region towards a region to be sterilised; and a steam supply connected to deliver dry steam to the sterilisation device, wherein the sterilisation device is configured to generate a high impedance at the hydroxyl radical generating region when dry steam, radiofrequency (RF) and/or microwave frequency electromagnetic (EM) energy, and gas are delivered to the hydroxyl generating region, thereby to create a plasma of the gas which forms an ionisation discharge for generating hydroxyl radicals from the dry steam for delivery out of the hydroxyl generating region.

A surgical treatment system for contaminated air streams having particulate contamination, polar contamination and/or nonpolar contamination in the gas or vapor stream. A surgical smoke plume treatment system and method provide or define a multi-stage treatment process that mechanically filters the air stream, followed by nonpolar decontamination and then polar decontamination or treatment. The system may be used stand alone or incorporated and used with other surgical instruments or incorporated into an air handler adapted to decontaminate an air stream. A desiccant may optionally be used to remove water from the air stream.

An ozone disinfecting system includes a water holding tank configured to hold water for use by the ozone disinfecting system. An ozone generator machine is configured to convert the water into an ozone cleaner agent. An ozone holding tank is configured to hold the ozone cleaner agent created by the ozone generator machine. A drain is configured to drain fluid from the ozone holding tank to the water holding tank. A pump is configured to cycle the fluid from the water holding tank to the ozone generator machine and into the ozone holding tank. A controller is configured to control the pump, the ozone generator machine, and the drain. Wherein, the controller controls the pump, the ozone generator machine and the drain to create the ozone cleaner agent from the water and cycle it between the water holding tank and the ozone holding tank at a specified cycle time.

A dispenser comprising a dispensing device containing a dispensing device solution, the dispensing device solution comprising C.sub.20H.sub.29NO.sub.7Si, the dispensing device solution having antiviral properties and emitting or reflecting UV light, wherein the dispensing device solution may be used in combination with antimicrobial products. wherein the dispensing device solution further comprises polymerizable UV absorbing and fluorescing elements, wherein the polymerizable UV absorbing and fluorescing elements are biodegradable, water soluble and copolymerize into hydrogel polymers, the dispensing device further comprising a dispensing unit. To verify proper application, a UV light source may directed to the dispensed solution.

Methods of the present invention comprise photoinactivation of catalase in combination with low-concentration peroxide solutions and/or ROS generating agents to provide antibacterial effects.

An antibacterial deodorizing mask including titanium dioxide according to the present disclosure includes: a mask body configured to surround at least one of a wearer's mouth and nose; and a pair of ear loops provided at both sides of the mask body so as to be hung on the wearer's ears and each having both ends coupled to upper and lower portions of the mask body, respectively, in which the mask body includes titanium dioxide particles having an average particle diameter D50 of 0.2 mm to 2 mm.

A system and method for adoption and use of social personal protective equipment. A structure, such as an article of clothing or jewelry, incorporates one or more PPE features and produces a protective, non-physical barrier around the user that kills or degrades a targeted, or group of, pathogenic microorganisms.

Air disinfection device using ozone for killing bacteria and viruses with ozone recombination unit, comprising a housing (10), a fan (20), an ozone generator (50) included in the housing (10) and arranged in a separate box (30), the ozone generator (50) is electrically driven by a supply unit (41) connecting a high voltage to the ozone generator (50) to excite corona discharge, wherein a germicidal lamp (40) light is arranged in the box (30), and both the germicidal lamp (40) and the ozone generator (50) are driven by electric pulses having a frequency over 10 KHz, and an ozone recombination unit (60) is arranged behind the box (30) across the airflow passage to neutralize ozone included in the air flow that comprises at least two windings (63, 64) each having at least one surface comprised of respective spaced wires positioned across the airflow path and connected to a supply unit (61) coupling a pulsated high voltage with a repetition frequency over 10 kHz between the windings (63, 64).

A sterilization system includes a controller, a transformer including a primary side in communication with the controller and secondary side, an ozone generator in communication with the secondary side of the transformer and the controller, and a power source in communication with the controller, wherein the ozone generator ionizes atmospheric oxygen through the application of corona discharge.
