A New Castle company says it has a solution that could take away worries about the spread of Ebola on public transportation systems.

The issue has taken center stage as a the U.S. records its first cases from people who took flights from Africa to the U.S.

With an incubation period of up to 21 days, it’s frightening to think about potential Ebola exposure while staying in a hotel or traveling in an airport, on an airplane or on a train. What can hotels, the airline industry and other forms of transportation including trains do to protect their customers?,”Sanosil noted in a recent blog post. The answer is adoption of modern disinfection practices,.”

Modern technology is readily available and can achieve whole room or whole environment disinfection. Systems such as U.S. based  Sanosil International’s Halo Disinfection System are currently used by many facilities including hospitals, nursing homes, doctor’s offices, schools and gymnasiums to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. When a room or vehicle is unoccupied, the Halo Disinfection System dispenses a dry mist aerosol that reaches all surfaces,” the post noted.

While there is no approved product for treating surfaces likely to be infected with Ebola due to the obvious hazards associated with testing the virus, Sanosil International’s Halo Disinfection System meets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance for disinfection products with efficacy against the class of pathogens that includes Ebola,” the post noted.

CDC officials have said chances of an epidemic from Ebola in the U.S. are minimal, but that has not stopped concern among members of the public and even public figures.

Sanosil International is a privately held company based in New Castle. Sanosil International maintains the manufacturing and marketing rights for Sanosil biocide outside of Europe, secured from the inventor and patent holder, Sanosil Limited, of Switzerland.

The News Journal has reported that Sanosil’s products have been shipped to Nigeria in the an effort to improve sanitation conditions that can contribute to the spread of Ebola.
