Vehicle Decontamination System

AeroClave founder Dr. Ronald Brown decontaminates a rescue vehicle at his office in Winter Park, Florida on Friday, Oct. 10, 2014. Viruses with similar characteristics to Ebola have been tested with positive results that show the pathogens can be erased. The Winter Park Fire/Rescue organization now has three ambulances equipped with self contained, built-in decontamination units – coming in the wake of an international Ebola virus scare. The units feature pressurized pumps, which release a decontamination mist inside the patient area of the ambulance. It takes about 15 minutes for the mist to cover all the surface area inside and break the chain of infection. In other instances, such as seen here, rescue vehicles and safety equipment can be brought into AeroClave and thoroughly decontaminated in approximately 35 minutes. (AP Photo/Alex Menendez)
