Green is ‘hot’ — studies validate green disinfection with steam vapor Independent scientific tests conducted at Microbiotest Labs, VA, and Nelson Labs, UT, show that Advanced Vapor Technologies’ TANCS ® Steam Vapor low-moisture system is a fast, chemical-free, water-based green method for destroying bacteria, mold and hard-to-kill pathogens in classrooms, restrooms, kitchens, hospitals, remedia-tion sites and other environments. “Those interested in green cleaning, health and the environment should review the data validating this new technology,” says David Mudarri, former Senior Indoor Air Quality Scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “Treated steam vapor from tap water is the only ingredient.” The TANCS component uses the minerals found within tap water to form heat-energized nano crystals which accelerate the destruc-tion of microorganisms. Tests consistently demonstrate that a few seconds of application provides effective surface disinfection.
