  • DIRTY SECRETS: What's Hiding in Your Cleaning Products?
    DirtySecrets: WHAT’S HIDING IN YOUR CLEANING PRODUCTS? A REPORT BY WOMEN’S VOICES FOR THE EARTH November 2011 By Alexandra Scranton The author is grateful for the assistance of the many people who contributed to this report. Content and scientific review were provided by Ann Blake, PhD; Anne Steinemann, PhD University of Washington College of Engineering; Ami Zota, ScD University of California, San Francisco Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment; and Denise Wilson, PhD University of Washington, and Amy Davis, Staff Specialist, University of Washington. Editorial review was provided by Erin Switalski, Jamie Silberberger, Cassidy Randall, Jean Duncan and Sian Wu. WVE would like to acknowledge the generous contributions of our members, the Ms. Foundation for Women, Thanksgiving Fund, Park Foundation, and anonymous donors which helped make the production of this report possible. DIRTY SECRETS: What’s Hiding in Your Cleaning Products? Executive Summary Cleaning product companies tell you that to keep your home clean and smelling fresh, you need to rely on an army of cleaning and air care products. Sprays, wipes, powders, liquids and more are sold with the promise of improving your home and your health by removing dirt and germs. More often than not, these products are also infused with fragrance to add a pleasant sensory experience to your everyday chores and to give your home that “clean” and “fresh” smell of lemon or pine forests. What companies are not telling you is that cleaning products can contain toxic chemicals that may harm your health. Manufacturers often recommend frequent and repeated use of their products, but this also translates to frequent and repeated exposures to potentially harmful chemicals.

There is still no cure or a vaccine for this highly infectious disease. The WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020 and ever since, scientists all over the world have been in pursuit of a cure or a vaccine and have been developing technologies to combat this pandemic. CSIR, through its 38 laboratories and expertise in diverse areas ranging from aerospace to buildings to genomics to chemicals, quickly sprang into action developing COVID-19 interventions. For effective planning and strategizing, CSIR swiftly set up five COVID-19 verticals including disease surveillance, drugs & vaccines, testing & diagnostics, PPEs and supply chain management. CSIR's rich R&D knowledgebase is embodied in the rapid testing, cost-effective diagnostic kits, virus culture, genome sequencing and disease surveillance. With the perfect blend of scientific knowledge, technical expertise, industry linkages and governmental interfaces, in about 100 days CSIR has come up with almost as many technologies and products to be deployed against COVID-19. From innovations and improvisations, these technologies have different levels of sophistication.

  • Germkiller UVC 400 - Ambient Air Sanitizer the USA Model: GK-UVC400
    MADE I GermKiller UVC 400 - Ambient Air Sanitizer THE USA Model: GK-UVC400 SNCE 19 The GermKiller UVC 400 Air Sanitizer combines a powerful airflow and effective UVC lights to help eliminate airborne viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. This dynamic system draws in air through a washable low maintenance electrostatic pre-filter to capture medium to large particles. The pre-filter helps keep the system running efficiently by preventing build- up inside the system. After the pre-filter, the air enters the UVC chamber that uses proprietary technology to ultra-magnify the UVC dose emitted from the two high wattage UVC lamps. The UVC light helps disinfect the air by inactivating microorganisms by damaging the DNA GermKiller UVC 400 or RNA through a process called germicidal irradiation. Air Sanitizer Please see the dose effectiveness chart on the next page. Lastly, the air goes through a final washable electrostatic post-filter before releasing into the surrounding room. The GermKiller UVC 400 Air Sanitizer features an airflow selection controller to allow the operator to select the desired airflow of 200, 300, or 400 CFM. The four-way adjustable louvre outlet helps control a directional airflow to aid when used in conjunction with multiple units. This system allows for several different mounting options including mounting on a wall, hanging from a ceiling, and placing on a portable cart. The GermKiller UVC 400 Air Sanitizer provides powerful air cleaning for disease prevention in a wide variety of locations including schools, hospitals, medical clinics, nursing homes, day cares, office spaces, disease testing centers, dental offices, and other highly populated indoor locations.
