GREENAID operates as Infection Prevention Company with the vision to be the preferred First Aid measure against the spread of unseen contagions. Our technology provides alternative to conventional cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing solutions that is chemically free, biologically & ecofriendly and economic suitable. Our aim is to put our solution as First Aid measure against unseen contagions in every home and within everyone’s reach, costing less than 1USD. GREENAID Technology in every home and on the go with everyone.
As advised by World Health Organization during the COVID 19 pandemic, maintaining social distancing, washing of hands, using face mask, and avoiding touching of eyes and nose are crucial to curb the spread of COVID-19, but from GREENAID’s perspectives, more preventive measure needs to be engaged along with these. Washing of hands may not as ‘too necessary’ if what contaminates our hands (i.e. the most commonly-touched places) are infection free, and using of face mask also may not be ‘too important’ if environmental air is safe for inhaling.
.
Many have continued to sanitize their hands, but no one seems to care about disinfecting the daily touchable places and objects around them that contaminates their hands and the air breathing in on daily basis. Many also are too conscious of the air they inhale outside their home by the use of face mask, but ignoring the air they breathe in in their homes, thinking we’re at safest at home.
This is where GREENAID comes in, to address the unaddressed preventive measure in order to complement the ideas of WHO towards having a virus free society. As much as washing of hands and using of face mask is needed, so also is disinfecting surfaces and decontaminating environmental air. Many have continued to sanitize their hands, but no one seems to care about disinfecting the daily touchable places and objects around them that contaminates their hands and the air breathing in on daily basis. Many also are too conscious of the air they inhale outside their home by the use of face mask, but ignoring the air they breathe in in their homes, thinking we’re at safest at home. We spend 90% of our time indoor without any form of protection, and research has shown that the indoor air quality is often much worse than outdoor air quality. This may be hard to believe, as the air outside can be very heavily polluted, but forgetting that natural processes such as carbon dioxide being consumed by plants is constantly moving air, electric thunderstorms, ultraviolet rays from the sun, etc., help to keep outdoor air clean. But on the contrary, the indoor air, especially in well-insulated homes, not only has no place to go but can often be filled with dangerous contaminants and allergens.
So, as the indoor air and daily touchable surfaces seem helpless and dangerous, GREENAID Technology decides to intervene and help. Our solution is 4-in-1 answer to controlling the spread of unseen contagions, it serves as cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing and deodorizing solution. It is chemical free, non-toxic and compatible with both human and animals; economic-friendly and eco-friendly. Applicable on the visible surfaces around through spraying and the invisible air around us through misting process. Our solution has been proven to be biologically friendly and safe for human to use and keep around, as the component of our solution already exist in human system, fighting bacterial and potential threats to human’s health. Hypochlorous acid is naturally produced by white blood cells as part of the body’s natural defense mechanism against pathogens. It is a weak acid that is formed when chlorine dissolves in water; its chemical formula is HOCL. As a quick chemistry refresher: an acid has a pH below 7 (neutral). A pH above 7 is considered base/basic or alkaline. For example, tap water generally has a pH of 7, whereas citric acid from lemons is highly acidic with a pH of around 2. The pH of HOCL is between 6-7. At GREENAID, Hypochlorous acid solutions are made by electrolysis, with salt (NaCl) and water (H2O), which are then electrolyzed to yield the chemical. This is what make GREENAID Technology a better alternative to the many to toxic cleaner and disinfectants in today’s market.
Hypochlorous acid is also on the EPA N-List of registered disinfectants: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-releases-list-disinfectants-use-against-covid-19. To view the list of EPA-registered disinfectant products, visit https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2.
Products appearing on EPA’s list registered disinfectant products have qualified for use against COVID-19 through the agency’s Emerging Viral Pathogen program. This program allows product manufacturers to provide EPA with data, even in advance of an outbreak, that shows their products are effective against harder-to-kill viruses than SARS-CoV-2. It also allows additional communications intended to inform the public about the utility of these products against the emerging pathogen in the most expeditious manner.
Why Care About Surfaces and Environmental Air?
World Health Organization suggests that “coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days”. Surfaces frequently touched with hands are most likely to be contaminated. Think about the things you touch multiple times a day and how many germs are lingering on those surfaces that you may not think about.
Exposure to germs and viruses lead to them follow us back into our car and home via these:
Car door handles and controls, keys or start button, steering wheel, gear shift, seats, all buttons and knobs, anything touchscreen, the console and cup holders, doorknobs, sinks, cabinet handles, refrigerator doors, remote controls, computer keyboard and mouse, TV remote and TV buttons, handrails, elevator buttons, light switches, Debit cards, all frequently used electronics, like tablets and phones, etc. but the good news from researches and investigations of the coronavirus spread shows that it belongs to the class of the virus that is cheapest to control and even common household disinfectants can deactivate it. And this is what gives GREENAID an advantage among every other prescribed way to curb the spread of virus. GREENAID Technology is so simple to use and produces its solution POWERED-H20 as needed per time with the most common domestic ingredients around. POWERED-H20 (P-H20) is a cost-effective green alternative to common chemicals; kills pathogens quickly; reduces downtime; safe to use and keeps user from having to clean with toxic chemicals; and cleans 100x more effectively than bleach.
