Nanopac provides leading disinfection services, as evidenced by its work within government hospitals. Its technologies provide vastly superior protection against respiratory illnesses, VOCs and gastroenteritis.
Childcare & Education Industry
No amount of hygiene instruction can stop children doing what comes naturally.
Despite high standards of hygiene and cleaning, and national vaccination programs, our schools and childcare centres provide the perfect setting for rapid spread of harmful bacteria and viruses. Poor indoor air quality also affects the health of children and those working in childcare/education.
Nanopac offers a safe solution to both hygiene and air quality problems. It naturally breaks down bacteria, viruses, fungus and air pollutants, purifies the air and removes bad odours. Where other products need continual reapplication to maintain a clean surface, Nanopac keeps on working.
It is typical for young children to suffer 8 to 12 colds per year, as well as one or two episodes of gastroenteritis.
Germ factories
In schools or group care children are exposed to many other children in close proximity, sharing toys, pens, even food. This is especially true of infants and toddlers in childcare. Infections spread rapidly via touched surfaces such doorknobs, taps, tabletops, computer keyboards and mice, so staff are also at risk even whilst maintaining good hygiene practices. Once cleaned with traditional methods, surfaces are soon re-infected.
It is typical for young children to suffer 8 to 12 colds per year, as well as one or two episodes of gastroenteritis. Other infectious diseases typical in daycare settings include conjunctivitis, hand foot and mouth disease, chicken pox and whooping cough.

The Nanopac Solution
Maintaining high health standards is vital in education, both in reducing absenteeism and maintaining a healthy working staff. Nanopac products offer a revolutionary solution; one safe application that keeps on working for as long as the coating remains. The technology employed by Nanopac is already in use the world over, providing clean, healthy environments for in which to learn.
Influenza usually transmits much more intensely among children.
This may be due to increased viral replication in children and poorer respiratory hygiene in this age group. While transmission of influenza is often amplified among preschool and school-aged children, this can occur in any group living in close proximity.
The very young (<2 years) are also at risk for developing severe illness and complications.

Little lungs at risk
Air pollution may cause a range of health issues from headaches and tiredness to allergies and aggravation of asthma. In the long term, some pollutants have been linked to cancer, chronic respiratory disease and poor childhood development.
Carpets, walls and furnishings harbour bacteria and fungus, particularly where food, dirt, sweat and other organic substances fall. Damp, poorly ventilated rooms make ideal conditions for mould to grow. In new or refurbished buildings, VOCs such as formaldehyde or benzene cause "sick building syndrome" and are of particular concern around children. They are also released from the items we use every day, furniture, craft products, laminates, office equipment and cleaning products.
The Nanopac Solution
Nanopac filters and filter treatment solutions enable ventilation and air-conditioning systems to clean the air as they work. Nanopac's TiO2 technology not only stops the growth of mould within the system, it actively removes and decomposes pollutants, bacteria and odours.
Case Study
Nanopac Helps Control Swine Flu Pandemic
In 2009, the H1N1 flu virus swept across the world, infecting close to 20% of the population. It was far more rampant among school children, with almost 50% infected. The World Health Organisation reported 18,500 laboratory confirmed deaths, but a report published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases estimates the actual toll at fifteen times this number.
In Malaysia, a national health emergency was declared and schools were issued strict hygiene procedures to contain any H1N1 outbreak among students and teachers. To assist in the in the struggle against infection, Nanopac helped by donating thousands of Nano-Hepa Face Masks and hundreds of Nano-Hepa Filtration systems to Malaysian schools.
