All over America, companies are experiencing inventory shortages. Cargo ships are trapped in ports with no one to transport their inventory across the country. According to the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the trucking industry is now short 80,000 drivers. With inventory backups all across America, truck drivers are more essential than ever for keeping the supply chain running. In fact, almost 75 percent of all freight in the USA is transported by truck. This shortage has been a major driver in America’s supply chain issues, causing inflation to jump up to 6.2% in November 2021. This is a 5% increase from January 2021. So, what caused this drop in the number of truck drivers over the last two years?

The pandemic has played a large role in unemployment for many industries. Businesses were shut down over safety concerns, and only essential workers were allowed to move freely. These restrictions have lifted somewhat with the introduction of the vaccine, but still truck drivers are not returning to work. The ATA says that the industry in on track for a shortage of 160,000 drivers by 2030. Unfortunately, the need for truck drivers is only rising. The ATA also cites that in the next ten years, the industry will need a total of 1,000,000 new drivers to keep up with supply chain demand.

In order to combat the shortage in labor, the trucking industry will need to hire an average of 110,000 new drivers per year. In spite of this demand, trucking companies are struggling to keep positions filled. While there are multiple reported causes, many drivers who don’t want to return to work are citing poor working conditions as the leading cause.

Unclean cabs contribute largely to the working conditions that truckers face every day. Long trips and multiple stops expose truck drivers to a myriad of viruses and bacteria, and drivers are worried for their health and safety. For the most part, truck drivers are responsible for cleaning their own cabs during trips. That means wiping down handles, seats, and virtually every other surface of the truck at each stop. Drivers must go through extra, time-consuming steps to keep themselves safe from illnesses. These added steps mean less travel time and fewer paid hours for drivers.

Even after a lengthy deep cleaning, the air in most cabs will still be unsafe. Most cleaners are only surface cleaners and cannot properly clean the air. Many commercial cleaners are also harmful for the user. Common cleaners contain chemicals like ammonia or bleach which can cause irritation and even injury if too much is inhaled. What if there was a way for drivers to save time and energy and clean not only the surfaces, but the air in their cabs as well?

The MAG Ultra from Paerosol is capable of disinfecting the air and surfaces in any enclosed space with minimal effort from the user. Paerosol’s patented Dry Spray Technology distributes Paerolyte, a non-chemical solution of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) that quickly and effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and mold spores with a 99.9999% rate of efficacy. Using the MAG platform, Paerosol’s EPA approved solution, Paerolyte can be distributed quickly inside of any truck cab. Paerolyte will even penetrate cloth fibers to eliminate all bacteria and viruses in the cab.

Viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and fungi can live in any home or business. WIth most people spending 90% of their time indoors, air quality is vital to ensuring health and wellness. Equal to air quality, clean surfaces are also a must. According to the British Columbia CDC, 80 percent of common infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. These infections are picked up from surfaces around our living spaces and workspaces. It can be difficult and time-consuming to sanitize every surface in your environment, and even harder to keep the air clean. Paerosol was started with the intention of safely and efficiently controlling virus outbreaks to protect the health of the general public.

 

Even the cleanest indoor environments are typically sanitized using harsh chemicals that can adversely affect the human body. Many common cleaning products release volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that have been linked to health problems including cancer. While these cleaners may eliminate harmful organisms, they introduce a whole new array of health problems.

 

Paerosol deep cleans indoor environments from top to bottom using a non-toxic solution consisting of Hypochlorous Acid (HCOL). The human immune system actually creates HCOL in order to help fight off infections, making this a safe and effective solution. Paerosol has been able to convert this powerful, non-toxic disinfectant into a dry aerosol that leaves all surfaces undamaged and free of moisture after use.

 

This Dry Spray Technology can be used to disinfect the surfaces and air in an enclosed environment using Paerosol’s disinfecting platform: MAG. Equipped with Paerosol’s HCOL liquid disinfectant, Paerolyte, the MAG disperses a dry aerosol spray into any enclosed space with an efficacy rate of up to 99.9999%. The MAG’s dry spray is able to reach every surface and will even penetrate soft surfaces like cushions and fabrics to effectively destroy any harmful bacteria.

 

Paerosol’s liquid disinfectant, Paerolyte, kills bad bacteria and leaves the good bacteria intact. Unlike the harsh chemical cleaners used in most homes and businesses, Paerolyte has no harmful side effects for humans or animals. Not only is it safe, it’s also simple and efficient. Use the MAG to disperse the Paerolyte liquid disinfectant into classrooms, office spaces, living rooms, and even warehouses. Not only will this eliminate having to manually disinfect surfaces, but the air will be cleaner than ever before. Just set the unit up and let it run.

A year without concerts has left fans hungrier than ever to get that rush of adrenaline only a packed concert venue can provide. Large gatherings were one of the first things to go when the pandemic began. Music artists everywhere started sending out apologetic posts to fans as shows got canceled. According to a recent article by Forbes, “more than 83 million attendees have been forced to change their plans”. 

Music fans were not the only ones hit with disappointment when shows were canceled. Information provided by Pollstar listed that the global concert industry lost more than $30 billion in the year 2020. Once vaccinations became readily available, venues all over the U.S began adding dates to the summer concert rosters. Live Nation President, Bob Roux, says “With vaccines being available to everyone in May, we’re confident events can return to regular capacity soon after.”

Along with travel and places opening back up, included on that list is concert venues. The number one priority before venues open back up is the disinfection process before and after the shows. Each state has different guidelines, but for the most part, concerts and large events are back for the summer! However, the task of cleaning for either a location as large as a stadium or as small as an intimate concert hall is not an effortless process that is easy for a small team can take on. No matter the size, crowds of guests bring in unwanted contaminants that only an experienced team can adequately tackle.

Delivering technology solutions that safely eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold is Paerosol’s primary goal. They are committed to offering solutions that will treat air, surface, and water. Disinfecting large public spaces such as concert venues is not an easy task that can be time-consuming and complicated. Paerosol takes away the complications of large venue disinfection. The Dry Spray Technology deploys a dry spray that quickly and effectively disinfects all highly touched surfaces and air- surface-borne bacteria. This non-toxic solution even penetrates through fabrics and thoroughly disinfects without harm to it or its user.

As venues start to fill up, the common problems such as virus and bacteria spread will ramp back up. Having a plan that is both effective and straightforward is key. If you’re looking for a long-term solution to enhance your cleaning procedure and provide better protection for your concert visitors and staff, contact us at paerosol.com/contact or info@paerosol.com.

The impact of the pandemic continues to be felt by many sectors of the economy as we enter the new year. The airline industry endured a painful 2020 as the pandemic diminished air travel demand by more than 90%. According to GlobalData, a marketing research firm, “no industry has seen a greater impact than airlines”. Though we have started to see aircrafts return to the sky, the travel and tourism landscape has been permanently transformed by the pandemic.

In an industry that often transports more than two million travelers daily, airlines have frantically searched for a sanitation solution that is effective in thoroughly disinfecting the air and surfaces both in the airport and airplane. In response, several new guidelines and precautions have been implemented to help mitigate the spread of the virus. Digital and contactless solutions are among the top new additions to airports. While these implementations are essential to the recovery of the industry, airports, and aircrafts could still carry the viruses through the air or surfaces. What is the best solution for airlines to better protect its passengers and crew?

Airlines have an opportunity to transform outdated cleaning and sanitation methods by taking advantage of modern-day technology and solutions to provide the best experience and safety for its passengers. According to market research, passenger numbers are estimated to reach pre-pandemic levels only after a couple of years. Philip Balaam, President of Inmarsat Aviation, believes “the crisis could prove a decisive moment for digital transformation in an industry that’s historically been behind the curve”. Balaam continues to predict that the industry will see new leaders emerge after COVID-19 because they took the steps to enhance capabilities.

Paerosol, successfully tested by US & Foreign Government Agencies, provides a new system with 99.9999% effectiveness in treating dangerous surface and air-borne pathogens. Unlike its competitors, the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency successfully tested Paerosol against bio-agents including simulates of Anthrax and Ebola, common civilian and hospital pathogens such as Ecoli and Salmonella, antibiotic-resistant microbes, and viruses including H1N1 (swine flu), H5N1 (bird flu), and MRSA. 

Paerosol’s Dry Spray Technology is a complete and long-term solution that disinfects the cabin’s air and all surfaces that are touched within the aircraft. It acts as a gas to diffuse and fully disinfect the entire space, including fabrics, in just a few minutes.

The EPA-Certified solution works at the highest rate of efficacy to eradicate all surface and airborne pathogens, including COVID-19. Chief Executive Officer of Paerosol, Steve Gareleck, recently stated, “We provide airlines with a solution that will meet the new standards for the mitigation of COVID-19 spread but also a long-term method to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness on the surface and in the air. Our technology is an efficient solution that expedites the turnaround process, saving airlines valuable time and money.” Paerosol greatly enhances the safety of aircraft crews and passengers and provides the confidence travelers need to return to flying.

In mid-April, UNESCO reported 192 countries had closed all schools and universities, affecting more than 90 percent of the world’s population: almost 1.6 billion students. While other industries started to open doors during the summer months, most educational facilities continued to be largely closed because of the unknown of the pandemic. Although schools are reopening with strict safety guidelines, many individuals continue to fear for the health and safety of themselves and/or children because schools can be breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and viruses.

Nearly 55 million students and 7 million staff members attend the more than 130,000 public and private schools across the United States. Educational facilities are faced with a significant challenge, constantly fighting bacteria and viruses that come and go as often as the faculty, staff, and students do.  In a normal year, the economic loss due to teacher absenteeism is $25.2 billion with a direct impact on each child’s learning.  Add the pandemic to these already staggering numbers, and the impact is catastrophic.

“Paerosol understands the unique needs of each industry and environment. We have years of scientific data and tests to provide the technology’s efficacy,” comments Steve Gareleck, CEO, Paerosol.  “Our goal is to provide the right equipment and solution to schools and universities that saves time, money, and ultimately provides a long-term solution to fighting any virus.”

Backed by microbiological testing, the Dry Sprayer deploys a dry spray to disinfect all highly touched surfaces and airborne bacteria routinely. This non-toxic solution kills air- and surface-borne mold, bacteria, and viruses, even penetrating through fabrics such as curtains, rugs, and bookbags, thoroughly disinfecting without harm to it or its user.

Don’t be left with a failing grade! If you are looking for a long-term solution to maintaining a healthy and safe learning center, contact us at www.paerosol.com/contact or info@paerosol.com to learn more about the product and pricing.
