Influenza Pandemic Response

In preparation of the expected spread of H1N1 (Swine) Influenza infections, Action Unlimited
Resources Inc. offers this summary of products and practices to help control the spread of the
virus:
Disinfection
The 2009- H1N1 Influenza virus is a lipophilic enveloped virus of the type that is susceptible to
many common antimicrobial agents, such as quaternary ammonium chlorides, phenolics and
alcohols. The US EPA believes disinfectants that have been tested and registered
against Influenza A virus will be effective on hard, non-porous surfaces, against the 2009-H1N1
Influenza strain, and other Influenza A virus strains

Action carries many different Disinfectants that are effective against Influenza A virus in:

Aerosols - Ready - To - Use - Concentrates

Hand Washing
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that the best defense
against cold and flu outbreaks is for people to wash their hands often. Most flu viruses hitch a ride on human hands and spread by direct contact. During cold weather and flu seasons, hand washing should be increased.

- The use of an antimicrobial or antibacterial soap is not necessary. A good quality soap that
lathers well will prevent the spread of diseases.
- Alcohol gels or other hand sanitizing products should be used as an alternative, not a
replacement for washing hands. Nothing works as well as a good hand washing.
- Hands should be washed many times during the day: when arriving and leaving the work
place, before and after eating or handling food, sneezing, coughing, or blowing nose.

Swimming In A Green Aphabet Soup!

Paul Newman’s character in the movie “The Verdict” in his final talk to the jury began with this phrase, “Sometimes we all just feel lost”.
The current rallying cry “We are going green” could have us all lost. The acronyms are ubiquitous:
• LEED
• DfE
• GS-42
• GS-37
• USGBC
• CFL
You get my point? What does it all mean? Simply put, do whatever you can to reduce your impact on the environment. BUT, be informed. The 10-second sound bites and the headlines do more to confuse than educate. For instance, CFL (compact fluorescent light) have specific instructions on where to use them. Yes, we all know that these light bulbs will drastically reduce energy consumption compared to incandescent bulbs. However, you should not use them where the light is turned on and off constantly or in an enclosed fixture. In these cases you will not get the 10,000 hours of use. There will be no benefit to you or the environment.
Using GS-37 ( Green Seal Standard for cleaning products) products incorrectly will result in no benefit to you or the environment. It would be better to use a non-GS-37 product in concentrated form through a proportioning dispenser. That would comply with one of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards.
And for the record:
DfE – Short for the EPA program, Design for the Environment (alternative to Green Seal)
GS-42 – Green Seal standard for cleaning services
USGBC – United States Green Building Council
Do you want to “go green”? Then remember to shut off the light when you leave the room.
All the little things will add up!
