Disclosed is a method for disinfecting and cleaning to prevent contamination of a passenger vehicle, characterized in that it includes the following operations: —installing at least one filter and condenser in the ventilation circuit; creating a swirling vortex of a disinfectant liquid by a gas referred to as a driving gas; spraying the swirling mixture created onto the clothing and luggage of passengers before they enter the passenger compartment; and spraying the mixture created onto the solid surfaces and/or into the air of the passenger compartment to be disinfected. Also disclosed is a device for implementing the method.

The present disclosure provides decontamination system that includes a decontamination chamber for sealably holding one or more items for decontamination. The system also includes a decontamination unit comprising: a controllable air heater and humidity control unit to controllably heat an ambient air source and to control a temperature and humidity of air within a decontamination chamber; a controllable vaporizer unit to controllably vaporize one or more decontamination agents by combining the controllably heated ambient air with the one or more decontamination agents; and controller circuitry to control a controllable air heater and humidity control unit to heat the ambient air to a selected level, and to maintain a selected heat and humidity within the decontamination chamber, and to control the controllable vaporizer unit to provide a selected flow rate of the one or more decontamination agents into the decontamination chamber.

A pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may include a microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth may include a low weight substrate having a first face and an opposed second face, and microfiber yarn attached to the low weight substrate in a plurality of parallel rows of stitches. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe further includes a disinfecting formulation saturated in the microfiber cloth. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may have a single-touch two-minute wetness coverage of more than 100 in.sup.2. A method of manufacturing a pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may include saturating, with a disinfecting formulation, a microfiber cloth.

Described is a device (1) for reducing pollutants in a gaseous mixture comprising: •a containment body (2) having an inlet portion (3) for the gaseous mixture and an outlet portion (4) for the gaseous mixture, the containment body (2) imposing on the gaseous mixture a fixed direction of flow (D), •at least one filtering unit (10) comprising a photocatalytic filter (7) interposed, along the fixed direction of flow (D), between a first light source (6a) and a second light source (6b), both having a wavelength in the visible spectrum (400-700 nm), the photocatalytic filter (7) comprising a photocatalytic nanoparticle coating and the nanoparticle coating comprising titanium dioxide doped with a nitrogen doping agent. •a unit (5) for straightening the flow before the filtering unit (10).

Disclosed herein are articles (e.g., wearable articles, such as gloves and masks) comprising an antimicrobial material, and methods of manufacture thereof. In various embodiments, the antimicrobial material comprises dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium, or a salt thereof. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial article (e.g., a wearable article, such as a glove or mask) may have antiviral properties against coronavirus, such as SARS-CoV-2.

A method of removing pathogens from a surface is described. In particular, a method including providing a wipe including guanidinyl-containing polymer coating, providing a liquid disinfectant having an associated disinfection time t for at least one pathogen is described. The method may help provide safe levels of disinfection even with a significant associated error in dwell time.

This present invention relates to a novel disinfectant fogger device and a disinfecting solution contained therein for disinfecting or sanitizing an enclosed space. The disinfecting solution is intended to kill germs, bacteria, viruses and other harmful microbes. The disinfectant fogger device is comprised of an aerosol container, the novel disinfecting solution, and a nozzle for dispensing the solution on demand. The disinfectant solution is preferably comprised of between 5-15% of a quaternary ammonium compound by weight, between 40-70% of a monohydric alcohol by weight, and between 15-40% of an alkyl by weight, and is capable of killing up to 99.9% of the germs and other harmful pathogens in the enclosed space.

The microfiber cloth may include a low weight substrate having a first face and an opposed second face, and microfiber yarn attached to the low weight substrate in a plurality of parallel rows of stitches. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe further includes a disinfecting formulation saturated in the microfiber cloth. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may have a single-touch two-minute wetness coverage of more than 100 in.sup.2. A method of manufacturing a pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may include saturating, with a disinfecting formulation, a microfiber cloth.

Provided are foams and foamable formulations for the decontamination of surfaces, such as disinfection from COVID-19. The formulations can allow deposition of a uniform layer of foam on a given surface without spontaneous drainage of water and with near zero flowability. The foam can adhere to slanted surfaces and surfaces comprised of a variety of materials, including wood, glass, and stone, enabling safe and effective viral decontamination in a number of settings.
