Five percent(5%) of people that enter a hospital acquire nosocomial infections. Of that, ten percent(10%) subsequently dies. That means that one of every two-hundred (1 of 200) people that enter a hospital will die of nosocomial infections. Conservative estimates put the economic cost to the hospital at over one million dollars annually for a 250-bed hospital, not including money lost in litigation to families of the deceased. Hospital operators, surgeons, and physicians face the possibility of patient litigation, which can ruin a reputation and even bankrupt a practice.

Inadvertently, medical facilities create the ideal breeding ground for biological contaminants (ie: bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) in the HVAC systems. Ventalation systems are not only the source of the contamination, but also the vehicle that distributes the pathogens throughout the hospital. Disinfection of the entire facility on a regular basis is critical, and measures must be taken to prevent the return of such life threatening bio-toxins.

The elimination of these toxins from of the HVAC systems in hospitals has proven to substantially reduce the number of nosocomial infections overnight. In cases where Enviro-CURE was utilized for bio-disinfection, the numbers of nosocomial infections were reduced to virtually no reported cases.
