An electrostatic disinfection system (aka Plasma Sanitation System) is an amazing tool that allows for the care of many surfaces, objects, and materials without using chemicals. For example, food preparation areas, medical equipment, surgical instruments, water containers, baby bottles, and toys can all be disinfected with this process. Disinfecting means eliminating (killing) bacteria, viruses, or fungi on inanimate animals objects. However, there are limitations on what type of object/s it can be used on and where it can be used, so please read further to find out more about plasma sanitation systems before considering investing in one for your home or business.
Plasma sanitation systems release high concentrations of ionized oxygen atoms (aka positive charged O2 ions) and/or ozone gas molecules (O3) into the air in a controlled environment where they combine to form a residual oxidizing agent.
The word sanitization means that something has been made safe from infection by disease-carrying organisms. For that to occur, an item must be properly cleaned and disinfected. Sanitation may also refer to environmental measures taken to reduce the population of disease-carrying organisms, such as garbage cans and sewers. Sanitization is one form of sterilization. Sterilization refers specifically to any process that removes or kills all forms of life and other biological agents from an object or so it’s free of them.
Sanitization and sterilization are two terms applied to cleaning surfaces in hospitals, laboratories, and other healthcare facilities. In such places, precautions are taken against microbes that may be harmful to patients. Sterilizing is an effective method for removing or killing all life forms from items or surfaces because microorganisms are living entities. Even viruses are not quite dead, so they can’t be said to have been truly sterilized by most traditional methods. The term disinfection means that something has been made safe to use by reducing its number of germs or making it free of them altogether. Disinfecting does not necessarily kill every single germ on a surface but rather reduces their numbers greatly. This is why something that has been disinfected may still be contaminated. Disinfection, therefore, is a subset of sterilization.
To say all viruses have been killed doesn’t mean the object or surface being discussed has reached an acceptable level of cleanliness. Ultimately to get down to an acceptable level of cleanliness, the process must kill every last living cell on an item-bugs included. That’s simply not possible with today’s technology. One way to think about it is that ‘sanitization’ means you’ve made things safe for other people, while ‘disinfection’ means it’s safe for yourself after you use them!
In conclusion, an electrostatic disinfection system is designed to sanitize items while leaving them fully functional. It’s the process of using an electrostatic field to accelerate oxygen atoms to speeds high enough to split apart water molecules surrounding germs, viruses, and bacteria to neutralize their DNA. It allows for complete combustion (dissolution) at the molecular level (Oxidization).
