  • Title: Disinfectants used for environmental disinfection and new room decontamination technology.
    Author: Rutala WA, Weber DJ.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2013 May; 41(5 Suppl):S36-41. PubMed ID: 23622746.
    Abstract:
    Environmental contamination plays an important role in the transmission of several key health care-associated pathogens. Effective and thorough cleaning/disinfecting of the patient environment is essential. Room decontamination units (such as ultraviolet-C and hydrogen peroxide systems) aid in reducing environmental contamination after terminal room cleaning and disinfection.
