EFT News

: A Tennessee family's dream home becomes a nightmare when their three young children become seriously ill from meth lab toxins. EFT's Crystal Clean eliminates meth contaminants to make this family's home safe.
: Three years of successful laboratory live agent testing and environmental studies of EasyDecon DF200 have resulted in registration by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The environmentally friendly decontamination solution has been proven to neutralize both chemical and biological warfare agents, as well as common environment problems including dangerous household mold and mildew.
: A conversation with Kevin Irvine about EFT's focus and future appears in this month's Military Medical Technology magazine. Irvine brings over 26 years of remediation experience in the nuclear, biological, and chemical field to EFT, including 20 years in the US Army specializing in decontamination operations. "EasyDECON DF200 provides one effective decontamination for any contamination hazard," Irvine explains.
: The US Army's Chemical Review reports the 101st Airborne's use of EasyDECON DF200 in the first chemical hazard mitigation and terrain decontamination of Operation Iraqi Freedom. 11,000 gallons of assorted chemicals deliberately dumped in a Mosul neighborhood were successfully alleviated by the military, protecting Iraqi citizens from the hazard. Despite lack of previous experience, the task force was able to quickly and effectively neutralize the hazard with EasyDECON DF200.
: FireRescue Magazine's cover story this month features Texas Task Force One's training exercise in Disaster City, a 52-acre "mini-city" training facility. Team leader Tim Gallagher calls training with EasyDECON DF200 the "highlight" of the drill, and says, "It will kill every chemical and biological agent known. And it’s bio-degradable, so it can run into the ground."
: Capt. Michael C. Firmin compares the logistical "nightmare" of decontamination procedures using DS2 and STB with the advantages of EasyDECON DF200. Unlike other decontaminates, EasyDECON DF200 is safe to handle for training exercises, so soldiers can gain confidence in decontamination procedures. Capt. Firmin points out that EasyDECON DF200 requires less manpower, needs no engineer support because it creates no hazardous runoff, and is less labor intensive since the foam is simply sprayed on instead of applied with mops. He concludes that with the development of EasyDECON DF200, "the Chemical Corps is headed in the right direction."
: CENTCOM has placed an order for several thousand gallons of EasyDECON DF200 to replace DS2, the previous decontaminant, for use "where the real potential exists for biological and chemical warfare." EasyDECON Df200 can be applied with current military hardware and has shown no collateral damage.
: EnviroFoam Technologies receives a second major award for decontamination solution from the Joint Services U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORPSYSCOM) to replace existing stockpiles of DS2 in the military inventory for biologic and chemical warfare.
: After successful remediation efforts on Capitol Hill in the past few weeks, EasyDECON is selected to eliminate anthrax in the Hart Senate office building in Washington, DC. Stairwells and freight elevators are decontaminated using EasyDECON.
: The EPA reports that anthrax contamination of the mailroom facilities at the Ford and Dirksen Congressional Office Buildings has been successfully eliminated by EasyDECON. EasyDECON was selected after EPA tests confirmed it effectively kills anthrax spores, and was the only decontaminate tested that did not severely damage the office environment.
