Is CIMR™ Infection Control Technology Safe?
Yes, 0.02 ppm of hydrogen peroxide gas is just one fiftieth of the amount that OSHA tells us is safe throughout a standard workday. The hydrogen peroxide gas concentration is also self-controlling. If hydrogen peroxide gas increases above 0.02 ppm, it starts reacting with itself until the concentration drops back down to 0.02 ppm. CIMR™ units actually produce much higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide gas immediately around the units themselves, but the hydrogen peroxide gas reacts with itself so fast that the concentration drops to 0.02 ppm within about an inch of the unit. Also, when hydrogen peroxide gas reacts with itself, it breaks down into non-toxic oxygen and water vapor. To put things in perspective, at 0.02 ppm there is only one hydrogen peroxide gas molecule in the air for every 10,450,000 oxygen molecules at room temperature. Also, all higher forms of life have two enzymes in their cells that help protect them against hydrogen peroxide: catalase and superoxide dismutas
