Currently, when restoration contractors are called to do a residential or commercial flood clean-up, they draw out the moisture with large vacuums and then put in blowers (fans) until the area is dry. The problem is that an odour will always exist afterwards and the fans actually blow the mould spores into every other area of the building. The Odorox Generator eliminates the odour and kills the mould by eliminating its food source which are micro-organisms of bacteria. Only then is mould rendered inert and unable to be resurrected because it has been killed by starvation. Live airborne spores are killed by the high concentration of Hydroxyls.
Young babies, asthmatics and persons who have poor immune systems are at the highest risk if they are exposed to mould. Inhalation of fungal spores, fragments, or organic compounds from a wide variety of mould may lead to allergic reactions, cause toxic effects, or cause infections. Illnesses can result from both high level, short-term exposures and lever level, long-term exposures. The most common symptoms reported from exposure to mould in indoor environments are runny nose, eye irritation, coughing, congestion, aggravation of asthma, headache and fatigue.
