Fog Machines Are Disinfecting Classrooms

The 17th Civil Engineer Squadron is employing a different approach to disinfecting classrooms at Goodfellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, Texas, reported Air Force Senior Airman Seraiah Wolf on December 3, 2020. Members of the civil engineer squadron used fog machines to disinfect classroom surfaces at the school-age program and the Child Development Center.

During the 20 minute re-entry time frame, the chemical bonds to any gems on the surfaces and kills them. This method of disinfecting is more efficient when it comes to disinfecting large areas.

"The chemical that we use is known to be 99.99% effective in killing different viruses. It is more likely to kill everything we want it to."
