[Application of peroxyacetic acid as disinfection of large stalls using thermonebulization (a case report)]

The method of application, the material properties of the disinfectant as well as the spacious circumstances decide about the effect of aerogeneous disinfection processes. Microbiological results and practical experiences clearly show that formaldehyde can be replaced by special formulations of peroxyacetic acid (PES) in the procedure of thermonebulization; on condition that a suitable technique is used. Perhaps the decay of agents but also defects in the distribution were results of a too high temperature of application. Characteristic foultry effects on the floor could be replaced by the help of Pulse-Jet-Instruments with a fog development below 80 degrees C. Beware of vaporizing PES-preparations exclusively by heat supply.
