Allergies are a body’s way of reacting to a substance that does not irritate many other people. When that substance enters the body, we produce antibodies designed to fight that substance. These antibodies can irritate your eyes, skin, lungs, or any other part of your body. Common irritations include respiration problems, asthma, sinus infections, headaches, […]

They make people extremely ill. I have witnessed it over and over again in my 15 plus years in the industry. I am not minimizing […]
Peracetic Acid has three active compounds; hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), acetic acid, and peracetic acid (PAA). PAA is formed by the reaction of acetic acid and H2 O2 with the addition of a catalyst; these compounds exist in equilibrium and their eventual decomposition results in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. The history of PAA […]
