项目摘要

The UK produces nearly 2000 Ha of high value greenhouse-protected crops, with a sales valueapproaching £1 billion. These intensive crops experience bacterial and fungal infectivediseases, causing losses of up to £150 million. Resistance to treatments is increasing andchemical use is becoming increasingly restricted and also require long airing times to allowtoxic residues to dissipate, meaning that a more effective form of greenhouse disinfection isneeded. The use of ozone as a sanitizer is one possibility, since it is highly effective andbreaks down to oxygen. However its high reactivity causes unacceptable variability in itsefficacy.We have identified a method to create a novel stabilized ozone ‘fog’ that resistsdecomposition during distribution and reaches the target surface with consistently high levelsof potency, with minimal wetting of surfaces by condensation. We believe we can develop asanitization unit that can reliably disinfect complex greenhouse structures and can possiblyalso be used in the presence of growing plants. Our project is to prove the feasibility of thisconcept and to understand the dosage and aerosol characteristics that would be required. Thefuture developed technology is envisaged to be usable to treat an entire greenhouse and alsohave the embodiment of a hand- held unit to treat individual areas when required; ultimately itmay also be applicable to use in healthcare and food warehousing.

英国生产近2000公顷的高价值温室保护作物，销售价值为10亿英镑。这些强化农作物经历了细菌和真菌感染性的疾病，造成高达1.5亿英镑的损失。对治疗的抵抗力正在增加，化学使用越来越受到限制，还需要较长的呼吸时间才能允许毒性残留物消散，这意味着需要一种更有效的温室消毒形式。将臭氧用作消毒剂是一种可能性，因为它非常有效并分解为氧气。然而，其高反应性在ITSEFECTIVE上引起了不可接受的变异性。我们已经确定了一种创建一种新型稳定的臭氧“雾”的方法，该方法在分布过程中脱颖而出，并以持续的效力始终如一地达到目标表面，并且通过凝结量最小。我们认为，我们可以开发可以可靠地消毒复杂的温室结构的固定化单元，并且可以在生长植物的存在下使用。我们的项目是证明这种概念的可行性，并了解所需的剂量和气雾特征。设想开发的技术可用于治疗整个温室，并具有手持单元的体现，可以在需要时处理各个区域；最终，ITMAY也适用于医疗保健和食品仓储。
