Once a microbial infestation has been found inside a building, it must be removed in order to protect the health of the occupants and to preserve the integrity of the structure. Items such as air scrubbers and purifiers have been used to remove airborne microbes and a wide array of chemicals has been used to remove microbial growth. Items such as these have proven effective, but remediation can be a tedious and lengthy process. It is possible that the remediation may have to be attempted several times before the microbial growth is gone.

The scientists at Clean Air Labs are looking for more effective ways to kill the microbes that are problematic indoors. It is thought that there may be techniques that are 100% effective in rapid, or immediate, remediation. In the lab, such ideas are being explored in hopes that this type of product could, one day, be brought to market and made available for everyone.
