DISRUPTING THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY

The potential consequences of infectious disease transmission, as has been evident most especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted all aspects of the transportation industry. Public & Private transportation health preparedness will continuously be challenged by pathogens and require an effective and dependable means of mitigation.

Our product suite of technologies target the following transportation industry segments:

Air Travel

Reducing domestic and international air travel, maximizing passenger safety.

Cruise & Cargo Ships

Sea based transportation such as cruise liners, and cargo ships.

Public & Private Ground Travel

Ground based modes such as rapid transit and intermodal freight transport infrastructure.

Relating Infrastructure

Disinfection of transport hubs such as airports, bus & train stations, and ports.

DEFINING THE PROBLEM

The transportation industry’s health preparedness and resilience continue to be challenged by pandemic pathogens. With the COVID-19 pandemic, public transportation activity has plunged over fear of the industry’s perceived inability to provide effective sterilization of its equipment.

THE EFFECTS OF INEFFECTIVE PATHOGEN ELIMINATION

Within the transportation industry, eventual return to ‘normal’ global travel patterns will likely result in an increased risk of additional pathogen transmission, from the ‘normal’ consequences of transporting commercial goods and passengers around the globe.

The speed and comprehensive nature of present-day transport makes the traditional drawbridge strategy of disease control and quarantine evermore less effective.

Transportation Industry - The Need For Disinfection - A Historic Example

There are currently around 1,500 microbes identified to be a known source of disease among the human population. Over the past 200-300 years, over 10 major influenza pandemics have occurred with the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic being considered the most severe a 30% global infection rate which resulted in 50-100 million dead. One major reason why pathogens such as the Spanish flu spread so quickly and broadly was the availability of modern transportation – which even a century ago offered global coverage. Research suggests that the virus was spread around the globe through infected crew members and passengers of both ships and trains – with epidemic hotspots occurring in shipyards and among railway personnel.

Global Travel - A Major Factor Behind Global Spread Of Diseases

The transmission of communicative diseases has evolved with globalization in terms of their epidemiology – the circumstances relating to their spread through populations. A key factor in this is global air travel which results in an accelerated spread of disease.

The speed and connectivity of air travel have become the most important factors in the global spread of disease. The large number of people traveling for personal and business purposes increases exponentially the risk of spreading flu-like diseases (viruses) rapidly and over long distances. The underlying connectivity and the business and social interactions behind global air travel are inextricably tied to the initial epidemiology of an epidemic or a pandemic. [1]

THE AERIMOS SOLUTION

MINIMIZING INFECTIOUS RISK THROUGH
STERILIZATION & DISINFECTION

CONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS FALL SHORT

Conventional disinfection technologies can only achieve 2-3 logs (99% – 99.9%) of reduction (kill) of pathogens and many fall short for both soft and hard surfaces. Decontamination in this range allows the regrowth of pathogens within as little as 12 hours.

INTRODUCING THE NEW GOLD STANDARD

The Aerimos Disinfectant sprayer prevents regrowth with its industry-disruptive 5 log+ (99.999%+) elimination of all viral & bacterial pathogens, all while leaving zero residue.

  • Eco-friendly, no residues, non-Corrosive, potent deodorizer.
  • Demonstrated efficacy for SARS-CoV-2, Anthrax, Ebola, etc.
  • 1000x faster acting & stronger than Chlorine Bleach.
  • Eliminate mould, mildew, mites, and spores.
  • Safe to handle and affordable to operate.
