摘要:
An antimicrobial fabric and method for treating fabric to impart antimicrobial properties thereto by preparing an aqueous solution of eugenol, polyvinyl alcohol, and glyoxal, padding the fabric with the aqueous solution to achieve a preselected desired part by weight wet pickup, drying the fabric; and curing the fabric.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for combating sick building syndrome include a plenum that is at least partially bounded by fabric comprising at least one naturally occurring botanically based, antimicrobial, morbidity-inducing fabric and preferably a fan for introducing air into the plenum for passage outwardly through the fabric thereby to cleanse the air of microbes contributing to sick building syndrome.
摘要:
A method for passively reducing nosocomial infections by providing fabrics for patient contact only as media for air filtration in areas with patient populations, which fabrics have been treated with a solution of eugenol of sufficient strength and for sufficient time to reduce the percentage of viable microbes in the fabrics by at least 2 log units.
摘要:
A method for removing airborne bacteria and airborne mycetes from indoor air comprises imparting microbiocidal and microbiostatic properties to fabric by treating the fabric with one or more naturally occurring biocides, positioning the treated fabric in a sheet-like orientation, and blowing indoor air through the fabric.
