The present invention relates a deodorizing catalyst including a copper-manganese-based composite oxide, zeolite, and activated carbon.

Antimicrobial compositions and methods of use thereof are described. The antimicrobial compositions have an acid system, an anionic surfactant system and 2-phenoxyethanol and/or a fragrance. The acid system includes at least 30 wt % of octanoic acid and a secondary acid. The anionic surfactant system includes at least 60 wt % of octyl sulfate and a secondary surfactant having a moiety with a carbon chain length with at least ten carbon atoms. The antimicrobial composition has a pH of from about 1.5 to about 5 as measured at 20° C.

A composition for reducing unpleasant odor, the composition includes betaine; musk; and N-Soya-N-ethyl morpholinium ethosulfate.

The present disclosure relates to the field of media for use in microbiological applications, and particularly in relation sample collection, transport, preparation, and storage. The disclosed media inactivate pathogenic (e.g., viral or bacterial) samples to allow for safe handling and storage, while simultaneously preserving nucleic acids for assessment.

Disclosed is a novel air purification composition with antiviral and bactericidal functions, the composition at least comprising the following components in percentage by weight: 0.3%-1% of a black poplar essential oil, 0.1%-1% of a tea tree essential oil, 0.1%-0.5% of a Cupressus funebris essential oil, 0.1%-1% of an Artemisia apiacea essential oil, 0.1%-10% of a Sophora flavescens extract, 0.1%-5% of a ginger extract, 5%-30% of a Cupressus funebris hydrolate, 0.5%-1% of a hyperbranched amino polymer, 0.5%-5% of a surfactant, and the balance being water.

A method of inactivating an enveloped ssRNA virus, such as SARS-CoV-2. The method involves contacting the enveloped ssRNA virus with an antiviral polyelectrolyte compound and/or a conjugated aromatic compound effective to inactivate the virus. The disclosure also provides a method of reducing the period of viability of enveloped ssRNA virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, on personal protective equipment, in filtered air, and on surfaces that have come into contact with the virus.

An antimicrobial composition contains hydrogen peroxide, an organic sulfonic acid, and a peroxide adjuvant. The peroxide adjuvant is a small molecule organic acid, such as formic acid. The antimicrobial composition is very effective at sanitizing surfaces in all different types of fields, such as in the healthcare industry. The antimicrobial composition is well suited for controlling C.difficile.

A composition for reducing unpleasant odor, the composition includes betaine; musk; and N-Soya-N-ethyl morpholinium ethosulfate.

The present disclosure relates to the field of media for use in microbiological applications, and particularly in relation sample collection, transport, preparation, and storage. The disclosed media inactivate pathogenic (e.g., viral or bacterial) samples to allow for safe handling and storage, while simultaneously preserving nucleic acids for assessment.

A modular anti-microbial aerosol atmospheric effect delivery system includes an air compressor, a haze solution reservoir, and an artificial snow solution reservoir in a system enclosure and an electronically controlled haze module and artificial snow module mounted above an attendee room. The haze module is connected to the air compressor and the haze solution reservoir by a hose system. The artificial snow module fluidly is connected to the air compressor and the artificial snow solution reservoir by the hose system. The artificial snow solution reservoir contains an artificial snow solution including sodium lauryl sulfate and citric acid. The haze solution reservoir contains a haze solution propylene glycol or tri-ethylene glycol, and at least one anti-microbial component selected from hydrogen peroxide and citric acid. The solutions are safe and antivirally effective to kill aerosol microbes suspended in the air, reducing transmission of undesirable microbes amongst attendees and workers within indoor environments.
