Abstract: A system for applying a novel odor abating solution to an odor-emitting surface includes a storage compartment comprising a solution of iodine having a concentration of at least 0.0005% by total weight of the solution of I2; a misting system having mist nozzles that are supported over the odor-emitting surface, creating an aerial environment between the odor-emitting surface and the mist nozzles; misting nozzles configured to spray droplets of the solution into the aerial environment over the odor-emitting surface so that, in absence of any air movement exceeding 1 kilometer/hour, at least 75% of the droplets are suspended in the aerial environment over the odor-emitting surface for at least 10 seconds, allowing at least 1% by weight of the I2 in the solution to react with emitted odor before the 75% of the droplets are deposited on the odor-emitting surface. The odor-emitting surface may be within a waste transfer station.

Abstract: Antimicrobial solutions and delivery systems for them use liquid antimicrobial solutions with: at least 80% of total weight of a carrier liquid comprising water, alcohol or a mixture of water and alcohol; at least 0.0001% by weight of the solution of I2; at least 0.0001% by weight of CuSO4; and sufficient acid in the solution top provide a pH of less than 7.0. A buffering system is also preferable in the solution, and the solution may be provided directly to wounds, burns or other skin damage as a liquid, as a spray or as a gel.

Abstract: Contaminants are filtered from a fluid flow stream and the filter is regenerated by a process including steps of: providing a filter material comprising both carbon and potassium iodide; passing a contaminated fluid stream in contact with the filter material; adsorbing contaminants from the fluid stream onto surfaces in the filter material; passing an electric current through the filter material with adsorbed contaminant thereon; disassociating contaminant from the surfaces of the filter material; and removing disassociated contaminant from the filter material by carrying away the disassociated contaminant in a fluid flow mass. Separately, a stable, active iodine solution is also provided for numerous deodorizing and disinfecting applications.

Abstract: A toilet installation kit and method of using thereof, containing pre-measured and disposable toilet installation components. The toilet installation kit includes a gasket for sealingly engaging a toilet to a closet flange and a connecting assembly including at least one flange bolt and corresponding washer and nut or nut caps for fastening the toilet to the closet flange. The toilet installation components include a predetermined measure of aggregate to be mixed with a corresponding measure of solution to form a settling compound for stabilizing the toilet to a floor surface. The components also include a tray having an interior for combining the pre-determined measure of aggregate and corresponding measure of solution therein, wherein the tray includes indicia indicating the corresponding measure of solution to be combined with the aggregate.

Abstract: A toilet deodorizer includes a deodorizer cake and a one-piece plastic framework having two leg portions with lower ends within the cake and extending upwardly therefrom to upper ends that merge with horizontal portions perpendicular to the leg portions. The framework also has a U-shaped portion depending from the horizontal portions. The framework is somewhat springy so that the U-shaped portion can be resiliently flexed away from the leg portions to allow the framework to straddle an upper rim of a toilet bowl with the U-shaped portion on one side of the rim and the leg portions and the cake on the other side of the rim within the toilet bowl. The framework is symmetrical with respect to a plane equidistant from the horizontal portions and parallel thereto. The framework has a top piece or strip member joining the horizontal portions and extending equally therebeyond to free ends. The length of the strip member is about 7 inches (17.8 cm) and the length of the leg portions is about 3 inches (7.6 cm).
