Bio·One
July 11, 2004 - Boca Raton, FL Rudolph
W. Giuliani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Giuliani Partners LLC, and John Y. Mason, Chairman
of Bio·ONE™, announced today that Bio·ONE™
began fumigation of the anthrax-contaminated former
American Media, Inc. (“AMI”) building
with chlorine dioxide gas. They were flanked
by Steven D. Oesterle, Chief Executive Officer of
Bio·ONE Solutions LLC (Bio·ONE), Karen
Cavanagh, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel
of Sabre Technical Services LLC (“Sabre”),
and Jeffrey MacIntyre, Senior Vice President of Sabre.
“We began circulating chlorine dioxide gas in
the building early this afternoon using the building’s
HVAC system,” said Mr. Mason. “We
expect the fumigation process to take approximately
24 hours, during which time all anthrax spores will
be destroyed.”
The former AMI building, located at 5401 N.W. Broken
Sound Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida, was the first
facility to be recognized as contaminated by anthrax
during the 2001 bioterrorism attacks, and it is the
final facility to be remediated.
“Representatives of the EPA, OSHA and other
government agencies have worked closely with the Bio·ONE/Sabre
team during the last two and one-half years,”
said Mr. Giuliani. “Today’s activities
reflect the results of this team effort, and we are
now far better prepared to manage similar challenges
in the future.”
Bio·ONE plans to establish its headquarters
within the building once the remediation process is
complete. “Not only do we welcome Bio·ONE
to our community,” said Boca Raton Mayor Steven
L. Abrams, “but we thank them for safely restoring
the building to commercial use.”
About the Technology
Bio•ONE’s proprietary and patented implementation
of gas-phase chlorine dioxide fumigation technology
provides safe and effective decontamination with minimal
disruption, negligible corrosion and no residual toxicity.
Bio•ONE’s high-capacity mobile generators
can produce chlorine dioxide gas, solution or foam.
Gas-phase chlorine dioxide fumigation is Bio•ONE’s
primary decontamination method for biological contamination
and has proven effective in the remediation of anthrax.
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a gas at room temperature
and, as such, is very mobile, easily reaching spores
in hard-to-reach places. Because of chlorine
dioxide’s unique physical and chemical properties,
it retains its structure and properties in all phases,
maintaining its ability to kill spores. Chlorine
dioxide has been proven to be an effective HVAC fumigant.
Gas-phase chlorine dioxide used in remedial fumigation
is a microbiocide and, at proper use concentrations,
is not flammable or explosive. Chlorine dioxide
decays in the fumigation zone to simple salt at concentration
levels that are indistinguishable from background
levels. As such,there is no residual toxicity
or downstream toxicity issues.
