The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating volatile fatty acids and bacteria capable of producing volatile fatty acids. The compositions can convert acid-producing bacteria environments to nitrate-reducing bacteria environments. The compositions and methods can lower the amount of acid-producing bacteria present in the environment and thereby reduce the amount of volatile fatty acids present in the environment. The control agent may also inhibit the growth of acid-producing bacteria and volatile fatty acid concentrations. The compositions and methods can be used with any aqueous industrial system.

An antimicrobial composition of buckminsterfullerene with saponified phosphorus acid functional groups is provided to disassemble or make virus particles inert, and to inhibit viral and fungal proteases using catalytic desulfurization. This composition is formulated to prevent or to treat novel corona viruses including emerging strains of SARS-Cov-2, as well as fungal pathologies such as valley fever and respiratory ailments such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and pneumonia. Virus particles are implicated in the development of cancers. The antiviral properties further enable the composition to prevent conditions leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, neoplasms, degenerative malignancy, and to help treat chronic inflammatory diseases associated with or leading to induce cancer in virus infected cells. The composition can be produced at low temperatures through reactive shear mixing. Delivery methods include ingestion, topical application, inhalation, or injection when used as a medicament or as a food supplement.

Attractant blend compositions attractive to female mice include one or more pheromone components comprising one or more of 2,3,5-trithiahexane, 1-hexanol, and 3-methyl-2-pentanone; and one or more known attractants. The known attractants can include 3,4-dehydro-exo-brevicomin (“brevicomin”), 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (“thiazole”), and testosterone. Devices and methods of using the attractant blend compositions are also disclosed.

A technique for eliminating bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases in growing plants involves the generation of chlorine dioxide gas by dissolution of sodium chlorite with an activating acid in an aqueous solution. Foliar application of the dissolved gas solution to soil or plants growing in fields follows. Preferred acid solutions contain phosphoric acid (H.sub.3PO.sub.4), Citric Acid (C.sub.6H.sub.8O.sub.7) or a mix of both.
