Canada: Germ-and-Bedbug Room Bomb

June 2012 —Researchers on the Queen’s University campus hope to prevent hospital infections with a “room bomb” spray that combines ozone and hydrogen peroxide vapor to kill bacteria, sterilizing a room in about an hour. Researchers are confident the spray also destroys viruses, mold, and even bedbugs. A filtering process removes the chemicals from the air, leaving it safe to breathe. The spray could be used on cruise ships and in bedbug-infested hotels.
