The Facts
It occurs mainly in Central and West Africa. The Ebola virus is
one of the deadliest pathogens in general. Up to 90 percent of those infected
die within a week after the onset of symptoms.
After an incubation period of three to 16 days initially occur
fever, headache, muscle aches, diarrhea and vomiting. In the further course,
there is bloody diarrhea, blood vomiting and internal bleeding.
A state of shock with renal failure and the failure of other vital
organs eventually lead to death.
There is no successful treatment therapy or vaccines against the
disease. However, initial progress to combat the dangerous pathogen were made
on animals in the United States and Canada in recent years.
Fighting the virus and its propagation is a battle on many fronts.
First and most dangerous it is for those who are in direct
contacts with the infected. The second danger is the direct environment like
the rooms, mostly in the emergency and isolation rooms of hospitals where the
infected ones are treated and third there is the area outside these direct
contact zones like the homes or hospital grounds in general.
There is some light on
the Horizon.
As bad as the upper mentioned facts are the virus has a few very
sensitive weak points (regarding its own life and further propagation):
It is very heat sensitive as it cannot survive 60°C and it is
easily destroyed by disinfectants.
So those being in direct contact to the body fluids of the
infected individuals, like caring relatives, hospital employees like nurses and
doctors need to take utmost prevention measures like sealed protection garment,
gloves, masks and footwear.
But beyond the ones directly in contact with the infected there
can be prepared a forceful barrier: Well carried out disinfection planning.
As many disinfectants are dangerous by themselves only to mention
a few like formaldehyde or peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen
peroxide vapors may be only effective and used inside closed rooms like
emergency units as they have a lot of practicable disadvantages when it comes
to large area disinfection plans.
And not only may the chemically aggressive disinfectants be
difficult to apply outside closed areas they are also a direct threat to those
who apply them and last but not least to the environment.
How disinfectants work
in General.
Here it is important to recall in a short way the definitions what
makes a good and effective disinfectant:
Disinfectants are substances that act as microbicides because of
their chemical properties and therefore they kill microorganisms. They are used
as part of hygiene measures for reducing bacteria or viruses. Disinfection in
its general meaning reduces pathogenic microorganisms
The following general requirements are demanded from an effective
disinfectant:
- fast and comprehensive germ reduction
- Needs to have sufficient penetration depth
- It must have active resistance to organic material
- Low systemic toxicity in order not to put the ones getting in contact in danger
- Good compatibility with skin, mucous membranes and wounds
- Durability but the same time biodegradability.
- Low odor
- Most disinfectants are defined as medical products with medium risk potential
As the Ebola virus now is spreading and therefore the need of
large areas being sanitized to form a distance barrier a new disinfectant will
find its way as a measure to sanitize large areas.
- The organic disinfectant AgriHit™
AgriHit disinfectant is formulated with organic natural substances
like bioflavonoids and mild organic acids that work more effective than
chlorine or hydrogen peroxide.
Chlorine and Hydrogen peroxides are controversial to the
requirement for a good disinfectant when it comes to low toxicity.
The effectiveness of AgriHit disinfectant is based on its
colloidal chemistry. More and more scientific studies show that colloidal
chemistry is superior to old disinfectant and cleaning agents with the
additional advantage of being harmless to humans, animals and plants.
So what is the secret behind the disinfectant potential of AgriHit
is the colloidal micelle technology?
In a biotechnological process the upper mentioned mild
bioflavonoids and organic acids are treated in a way that they will minuscule
down to molecular sizes. We are talking here about areas from one to fifty
nanometers, which are molecular dimensions. This guarantees a fast and
comprehensive germ reduction and penetration depth.
The bioflavonoids and organic acids, all extracts of natural
plants qualify as FDA approved food stocks and nutrient additives which in the
fermenting process form the new particles, the colloidal micelles.
The reactive materials qualified for FDA approval because they
were of low systemic toxicity and showed good compatibilities with skin mucous
membranes and wounds.
Stemming from natural materials it has naturally an active
resistance to organic materials. Durability but the same time biodegradability
while other disinfectants like formaldehyde or hydrogen peroxide will be
harmful to humans and the rest of the environment.
This proves that AgriHit is not only fulfilling but also exceeding
the demands for an effective disinfectant.
How AgriHit disinfectant
is acting?
As a nontoxic organic replacement for chlorine and other hazardous
materials it does not poison the organism but acts mechanically by destroying
the cellular membrane of a micro-organism by cell wall intrusion. All
ingredients are carried in a food safe naturally derived glycerin solvent which
makes the active ingredients infinitely soluble in water.
AgriHit disinfectant is left on the surface which has been subject
to disinfection and continues to sanitize until the bacteria/pathogen loading
exceeds the volume of AgriHit™ disinfectant present.
So why AgriHit is an
ideal disinfectant for helping to reduce the spread of the Ebola Virus?
In the region of Central and West Africa where up to now the most
fatalities of Ebola were registered and therefore the largest need of wide area
disinfection is needed the most of the secondary fighting, meaning the
prevention measures, are performed by local inhabitants of the area.
These people hardly have the qualifications to distribute
hazardous materials as disinfectants like chlorine or formaldehydes over wider
areas without the control of specialists. These highly trained specialists are
coming normally from out of the country or even from other continents and have
more than enough to do in the primary fighting of the epidemics. They are
needed in the hospitals to treat the many patients and make sure that the
infected are isolated until their final recovery.
They are helping to make disinfection plans which then have to be
executed by local forces.
AgriHit disinfectant in this scenery has a triple advantage:
·
It is
highly effective in fighting the virus should it have overcome the isolated
areas.
·
It is
long time effective as it does not need to be washed away after short contact
times.
·
And
most importantly local people can be trained easily as area disinfectors
as the
disinfectant being based on natural ingredients does not expose them to any
additional harm.
·
It
does not even more harm the local environment like farming and gardening in a
region suffering already so much by the plague alone.
AgriHit disinfectant is a part of Green 3D Shield™ Infection
Control System
Green 3D Shield™ is a specialized system used for building quality
indoors with surface and air cleanliness which supports total infection and
disease control. Green 3D Shield™ contains several proprietary components;
organic disinfectants and biodegradable cleaners made from organic plant
extracts. Another specialty of our company is the photo catalyst purification
coating technology which is developed using natural minerals.
