Hey,

A few weeks ago we covered a story (link below) related to EMS personnel in NJ

getting sick due to a cleansing product and or system.

UPDATE: Now, the United States EPA has issued a stop use and sale of the

micro-misting disinfecting technology sold by Zimek Technologies ( www.zimek.com

) , according to the IAFF.

EPA Region 2 has ordered a New Jersey EMS provider, Monmouth-Ocean Hospital

Service Corporation (MONOC) to immediately stop the use of the toxic

micro-misting of their ambulances with disinfectants acquired from Zimek

Technologies and the Zimek Micro-Misting System. This device is used by MONOC to

deliver disinfectants to the interior of ambulances as micron or submicron sized

particles. EPA's enforcement action came as a result of a formal complaint to

the EPA by IAFF Local 4610, the Professional Emergency Services Association of

New Jersey, on behalf of its exposed brothers and sisters.

The IAFF has contacted EPA and has confirmed that this action applies to ALL

uses of the Zimek Micro-Misting Systems, whether they are used in ambulances,

fire apparatus, fire stations or other vehicles and facilities.

The order states that the disinfectants that have been used in the MONOC

ambulances are likely to cause harm to humans when applied using the Zimek

system. The order also states that EPA has reason to believe that individuals

working in MONOC ambulances in which disinfectants were applied have become ill

and treated for pesticide poisoning.

Disinfectants used for decontaminating equipment must be EPA-registered hospital

disinfectant chemical germicides that have been documented as effective against

the infectious agent and MUST be used as they were approved by EPA.
