Post Hurricane Sandy Clean-Up, Sanuvox UV Systems help Control Mold & Odors

MONTREAL, QC, November 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) In the days and weeks following Hurricane Sandy, commercial & residential buildings suffering from water infiltration may become victim to mold & microbial contamination. Mold and their associated off-gassing, as well as odors can cause far reaching implications for commercial buildings, homes, and risk occupant's health. Sanuvox UV Systems are designed to destroy airborne and surface mold & microbial contamination, as well as their associated odors.

According to FEMA, mold is a major health risk that can develop quickly. In just 24-48 hours of water exposure, surfaces and materials can become contaminated with mold. Following the appropriate steps in the aftermath of a flood can help minimize damage. Visit FEMA and the CDC for more information on the safe and effective cleanup of mold & mildew following a flood.

Sanuvox offers solutions for airborne mold & microbial reduction as well as surface sterilization. According to Dr. Normand Brais, President of Sanuvox Technologies, "There is no substitute for drying out the flood damaged area in a safe and timely manner, but no matter how well this is done, there is a real possibility that the concentration of mold and odors can continue to rise within the home or building. Sanuvox UV systems have been designed and tested to lower the concentration of these contaminants, making for a more effective clean-up."
Dr. Brais continues, "UV sterilization is but one more important tool building owners, managers and homeowners can use to help improve their indoor air quality, and in doing so will make for a safer, cleaner environment for all involved."

Sanuvox stand-alone and in-duct HVAC units employ a patented UV sterilization process to proactively treat & protect the air on an ongoing basis. The Sanuvox process is effective at destroying thousands of bio-chemical contaminants including mold, viruses, bacteria, chemicals, VOCs and odors.
