Abstract: The invention concerns a decontaminating composition having simultaneously bactericidal, fungicidal and virocidal properties, comprising as active components eugenol, eugenol acetate, vanillin and carvacrol, characterized in that said active constituents are present in the following percentages by weight: at least about 12% eugenol, at least about 3% eugenol acetate, at least about 0.1% vanillin and at least about 0.5% carvacrol. Said decontaminating composition can be used as liquid or solid soaps. It can also impregnate in liquid form fabrics and nonwoven fabrics such as garments for medical use, bed sheets, slip covers, surgery drape, dressings and gauze such as those applied to the skin of serious burn victims.

Abstract: A method for bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and insecticidal treatment of ambient air includes circulating air through a permeable container having at least a treating agent therein. The treating agent is used as bactericide, fungicide, virucide and insecticide additionally to mechanical air filtering, and is distributed uniformly inside the container so as to prevent micro-organisms from developing on the container itself. The method may be applied to caloric-exchanging and air-recycling installations and appliances, and to coating elements of building surfaces.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and insecticidal treatment of ambient air. Said method consists in circulating air (1) through a permeable container wherein is placed at least a treating agent. The invention is characterised in that the treating agent (2) is used as bactericide, fungicide, virucide and insecticide additionally to mechanical air filtering, and is distributed uniformly inside the container (4) so as to prevent micro-organisms from developing on the container itself. The invention is applicable to caloric-exchanging and air-recycling installations and appliances, and to coating elements of building surfaces.
