The Amazing Story
• So enjoy and Follow the lead of the United States and other Government’s in understanding and preparing for an invisible enemy.
• Indoor Air pollution ( AMA states 50 percent of all illnesses are caused by pollution or particulates)
• 39 percent of all asthma in children can be prevented• An alarming Increase in Asthma of 60 percent since
1980 (related to indoor particulates)• In the United States 7 percent of healthcare patients are
infected with a hospital Acquired infection ,these rates are up to 11%-15% in emerging countries
HAI (Healthcare Associated Problems)
• 271 people die a day in the U.S. from HAI’s (more then auto accidents, breast Ca ,colon Ca and murders combined).
• World Health Association (WHO) state that 30 percent of all new structures in the world are contaminated.
• Infectious disease outbreaks cost billions of dollars in healthcare cost, lost productivity and wages.
• NDM-1 is the next Superbug to prepare for. This will be worse than SARS and Swine flu combined
It Pays to Be Prepared
• Get prepared and don’t be left unguarded incase of a Bio-Terrorism attach using air and surface borne pathogens.
• The U.S. is forming a 100 man rapid response strike team to react to this potential problem with a grant through FEMA.
• Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense and First responders will be using TOMI technology in its field operations

TOMI’s 4 PRODUCT TECHOLOGY KILLS ALL BIOLOGICAL PATHOGENS
Types of Cleaning Methods vs TOMI’s Sterilization Method
Sanitization: The process of making something (usually an inanimate object) clean. This is typically defined as a 2-log reduction.
Disinfection: The process of eliminating pathogenic organisms or making them inert, i.e., to kill the germs and bacteria or render them harmless. This is typically defined as a 2-5 log reduction.
Sterilization: The process of completely eliminating microbial viability, i.e., to kill all non-pathogenic and pathogenic spores, fungi and viruses. This is typically defined as a 6-log reductions such.
TOMI’S SteraMistCold Plasma System
What is TOMI’S Steramist Technology?• A hydrogen peroxide based technology that brings contaminants to below
detectable levels for various microorganisms. Surface structures of the microorganisms (proteins, carbohydrates that has proven effectiveness in reducing biological, and lipids) are destroyed by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species produced when a fine mist of hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol is passed through a cold plasma arc.
• Used in open air and, once ionized, acts like a gas as opposed to a vapor, providing excellent distribution properties, and destroying microorganisms even in those hard-to-reach areas. Thus, is more effective and requires a drastically shorter decontamination process time than alternatives.
The Results Are The TOMI Advantage
• Additional advantages of TOMI’S technology include:
• Has no requirement for special atmospheric conditions and does not create nox ious fumes or leave behind any residue.
• Since hydrogen peroxide is the primary component used, breaking down into oxygen and water at the completion of the decontamination process.
• Is one of the most environmentally friendly or “green” decontaminants available.
• The TOMI Advantage

MRSA Financial Burden in HAI”s
A recent study, published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS ONE, addresses just Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA infections associated with surgery.
"Our estimates of the financial burden of surgical site infections due to MRSA are unique," Deverick Anderson of Duke University Medical Center and colleagues wrote.
"Surgical site infections due to MRSA led to charges in excess of $19 million for the group of study hospitals," they added. "Surgical site infections due to MRSA led to:
1. 7-fold increased risk of death.2. 35-fold increased risk of hospital readmission.3. More than 3 weeks of additional hospitalization.4. More than $60,000 of additional charges compared to uninfected controls.
Microorganisms survive outside of the body for lengthy periods of time.
•MRSA (Staph)- 9 months+•Hepatitis C- 16 hrs to 4 days•Clostridium Difficile (C-Diff)- 70 days+• Acinetobacter baumannii- 20 days+
ROI (Return on Investments) For Hospitals
A study involving commonly touched surfaces (bed rails, telephones, call buttons, toilet
seats, and bedside tables) in patient rooms with C. Diff found that after routine cleaning, 78% of the surfaces remained contaminated
with C. Diff spores.
A separate study of 49 New England hospitals found 25% of OR surfaces were overlooked by
current cleaning teams.
TOMI’S UVOzone Generator
System
How UV Ozone is Produced• Ozone (O3) is a derivative of oxygen
(O2) that is created when the sun’s ultraviolet rays interact with oxygen molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere.
At ground level, a molecule of ozone will attach itself to any number of microscopic organism: mold spores, bacteria, viruses, dust mite feces, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)—and “oxidize” them, effectively killing them, inactivating them, or breaking them down into chemically simpler products.
This process also breaks down the ozone and converts it back into oxygen.
How To Produce UV Ozone
How Ozone Gas Ruptures a Cell Wall Zooming in closer, Ozone (light blue) comes into
contact with the cell wall.
The healthy bacillus bacterial cell (waiting to ruin your day).
cell wall is vital to the bacteria because it ensures the organism can maintain its shape.
As Ozone molecules make contact with the cell wall, a reaction called an oxidative burst occurs. This literally creates a tiny hole in the cell wall.
A newly created hole in the cell wall has injured the bacterium.
The bacterium begins to lose its shape while ozone molecules continue creating hole in the cell wall. After it loses its shape it dies.

UVGI TerminatorDiscussion And
Installation
Effect of Ultraviolet Germicidal Lights Installed in Office Ventilation Systems on Workers' Health and Well-being: double-blind multiple crossover trial - McGill Study – November 2003 The Lancet
•Assessment of UVGI used on drip pans and cooling coils within ventilation systems of office buildings would reduce microbial contamination, and thus occupants' work-related symptoms (double blind, multiple crossover trial of 771 participants in office buildings in Montreal, Canada over a 24 week period).
•Operation of UVGI resulted in 99% reduction of microbial and endotoxin concentrations on irradiated surfaces within the ventilation systems. On the basis of within-person estimates, use of UVGI was associated with significantly fewer work-related symptoms overall, as well as respiratory and mucosal symptoms than was non-use.
•Reduction of work-related symptoms was greatest among atopic workers and never-smokers. The technique reduced overall worker sickness by 20%, including a 40% drop in breathing problems.
•"Installation of UVGI in most North American offices could resolve work-related symptoms in about 4 million employees caused by microbial contamination of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems."
How Are Terminator-Germicidal UV Works
• Germicidal UV has a specific wavelength of 253.7 nanometers (253.7 billionths of a meter) and is known to deactivate (break the DNA of) germs contained in tiny airborne droplets (droplet nuclei) that transmit diseases such as measles, tuberculosis, and influenza from person to person.
• Once the DNA of a microbe is broken it loses its ability to reproduce. Bacteria and viruses that can not reproduce are rendered harmless.
• TOMI Environmental Solutions Germicidal UV has been used safely and effectively in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and industry for more than 10 years. The Terminator has a 7 inch kill field.
People Spread Germs
• Anywhere people congregate there is a risk that an infected person will exhale droplet nuclei carrying disease.
• Since the droplets are very small (about 2,000,000 would fit on the head of a pin) they can hang suspended or be carried on air currents. The infection can then be dispersed throughout confined environments such as buildings as the infected person moves about.
• Other people then inhale the airborne droplets and contract the disease.
• Germicidal UV should be installed throughout buildings where a significant hazard of airborne infection has been identified. Hospitals, clinics, Airplanes, Hotels, prisons, treatment centers, and similar institutions are especially susceptible.

UVGI Lights Enhance Air Quality
UVGI or UVC energy is the most germicidal wavelength in the UV spectrum.
Installed in an air-handling system, UVC lights emit enough of this energy to penetrate even the tiniest microbe and destroy its DNA and RNA, killing or deactivating it.
In this manner, UVC effectively stops both surface organisms that grow inside heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and airborne microbes that circulate through these systems to the occupied space—including the mold and bacterial contaminants that tend to proliferate in standing water in cooling coil and drain pan areas.
