The effectiveness of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating airPHX equipment for reducing bacterial populations of Clostridium difficile, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (mRSA) and  seudomonas aeruginosa on three (3) common contact surfaces; stainless steel  Austenitic 316), plastic (PVC) and linoleum (floor tile) were studied.
