What is\nFentanyl?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is the scrooge of our century, our decade,\nour lives. No one can claim to be immune to the devastating consequences of\nthis atrocity that is hitting both the young and the old, the innocent and the\nguilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a crystalline solid, Fentanyl comes in different variations such as nasal sprays, liquids, powders, intramuscular shots, skin patches, tablets and even lollipops<\/a>. The fact that it comes in so many different forms makes its accessibility so much more rampant. Illegal fentanyl is dispersed as tainted heroin powder and can be mixed with other illegal substances and named acryl fentanyl and acetyl fentanyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This powerful substance is available medically in certain countries such as Canada as a powerful painkiller prescribed by a doctor for patients who are in need of a strong opioid. According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS<\/a>), even a minute amount of fentanyl, as little as four grains of salt can be fatal to the typical adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the CDC, fentanyl is almost fifty times more powerful<\/a> than heroin and almost a hundred times more powerful than morphine. In fact, a type of fentanyl combo was used in October to neutralize terrorists who were holding hostages in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways fentanyl can enter the body,\nbut the inhalation approach is the deadliest of all. When a person inhales\nfentanyl it is immediately absorbed by the lungs and goes straight to the\nbloodstream becoming toxic instantly. The other methods such as by mouth have a\nsimilar effect to inhalation but at a slower rate. Dry skin contact is not as\ndangerous but should be quickly removed by washing with a low pH soap using\nlots of running water. (No alcohol based products should be used since these\ncan increase the drug absorption to the skin.) This brings us to the scope of\nthis article, which is the safe removal of fentanyl from homes, schools, office\nbuildings and other arenas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoRite\nDECON to the Rescue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year a new combative agent has been created to remove fentanyl from exposed areas in matters of seconds<\/a>. After a one-minute incubation treatment heroin and fentanyl are destroyed. The name of the company that has invented this amazing product is called; Aseptic Health made in the United States of America using the finest materials which are Berry Amendment approved. \u201cThe Berry Amendment was named for Ellis Yarnal Berry<\/a>, who was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1951 to 1971. During his first term in congress, Berry introduced an amendment to the Buy American Act<\/a> to expand the law to cover all clothing, cotton, and wool. Ever since 1952 any restrictions in the annual Defense Appropriation Acts became known as Berry Amendments. The Berry Amendment<\/a> became permanent in 1994 by section 8005 of Public Law”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have a superior product that is manufactured\nin our own country and can be distributed worldwide to save lives and\ndecontaminate crucial areas both in the consumer and military sectors. SoRite DECON is not only fatal to fentanyl but to heroin and xylazine\nas well. The principal ingredient of this recent addition to the anti-drug\narsenal is Sodium Chlorite which is patent pending as of now. It can be used in\nlower concentrations to avoid human inhalation toxins and is so safe that it\ncan be used without protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, any HVAC specialist must be encased in highly\nprotective gear when going into places that are fentanyl affected because even\nthough the anti-fentanyl agent is nontoxic the fentanyl itself is extremely\ntoxic by inhalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Hart, Air Duct\nSpecialist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As recently as March, David Hart working in Bend, Oregon traveled to the Midwest to Indianapolis to present a course of instruction on how HVAC professionals can use SoRite DECON to eradicate Fentanyl in seconds from various structures and indoor venues. The course was given from March 28, 2023, to April 1. The magazine called Restoration and Remediation<\/a>, heralded this new product as the greatest invention in the air cleaning industry since the dehumidifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a crisis in which first responders must enter a venue\nwhere fentanyl was used, the place must first be declared safe for police,\nfiremen and EMTs to enter. This is where the highly trained HVAC specialists\nenter with special protective gear and within seconds the area is safe for the\nfirst responders to enter. For illegal drug infested venues, it is our brave\nHVAC specialists who are the first responders, and first responders are \u201csecond\nresponders\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidelines For HVAC\nSpecialists for Utilizing SoRite\nDECON<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1 – <\/strong>If available, HVAC blueprints should be studied before entering the contaminated site. If these architectural specs are not obtainable locations of the room air intakes and returns, exhausts, and the specific models of the duct systems should be listed for the specialist. These include sheet metal ducts, flexible ducts and where the insulation for the venue is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – <\/strong>It is crucial to wear protective personal\ngarments when handling or in the vicinity of harmful substances such as\nfentanyl specifically when the substance is present in the air as a powder. \nThis entails masks,\nsafety goggles, gloves, and personal protective clothing (PPE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – <\/strong>There are different levels of danger so,\nif possible, find out which level the site is at. Once the fentanyl is\ndeactivated it is safe for people to return to their homes or businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping Our Homes\nand Communities Safe From Illicit Drugs Such As Fentanyl<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last month on March 23,2023, there was a fatality in a home in Philadelphia caused by exposure to fentanyl. Commissioner Danielle Outlaw identified the suspicious substance as fentanyl which was found on the dead man and all over the basement of the home. A woman and baby were taken by ambulance to the hospital because they too were exposed to the substance identified in the basement. The firemen had to first put on the correct PPE gear before entering the Northeast Philadelphia<\/a> rowhome and then had to be decontaminated by a special hazmat process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ironically this was only four days before the fentanyl\nremediation course was given by David Hart in Indianapolis. We do realize that\nthe unidentified man in the basement of this story could not be saved as he was\nalready fatally killed by exposure to fentanyl, however, the firemen would have\nhad an easier time by spraying the home with the new substance that eradicates\nfentanyl almost instantly. It\u2019s such a pity that the woman and her baby had to\nbe taken to the hospital and hopefully they are made aware that there is\nsomething that could return them to their home by using the anti-fentanyl\neradicator called, SoRite DECON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seniors and those born in a different century may find it\ndifficult to understand why foolish people put themselves into such dangerous\nsituations. We know that addiction is a complex illness, and most people don\u2019t\nwant to die but to live. Living on the edge does have a fascination for\nimmediate gratification junkies. It\u2019s always hard to do the right thing long\nterm whether it\u2019s stopping at a bar on the way home from work or school instead\nof heading straight to the viable destination or joining a party where drugs\nare rampant is certainly hard to leave and the fact that marijuana is legal and\neasily available may be a trigger for heavier, more dangerous drugs. As most of\nus realize highs just have to get higher and using marijuana indiscriminately\njust has us begging for something more potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same holds true with alcohol. Where in the past one\ncup would do the trick for relaxation, now an entire bottle is necessary. The\nfact that there is a way to eradicate serious drugs from the air by trained\nHVAC specialists should certainly save lives of innocent bystanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone is living in a multi dwelling or working in an\noffice building where just one person is using a fentanyl powder or spray it\ncan cause many people to be affected. Innocent children will have no idea why\nthey are feeling so sick or even blameless grownups could be clueless to the\ndangers of fentanyl inhalation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infiltration of drug pushers into our country is just\nplain out of control. We learn that our country is the home of the free and\nmany of our own relatives were granted asylum and citizenship coming from\nforeign and oppressive countries. However, we must hold back certain\nundesirables who come into our country specifically to make money selling\nillegal drugs and a teen or child does not need money for the first try that is\ngiven to them. The next step is theft in order to keep the drug addict\nsatisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finding a diffuser for fentanyl is a step in the right\ndirection for saving innocent lives. Training HVAC specialists to learn how to\nsafely rid homes, office buildings and schools of this horrible substance in\nseconds is truly amazing. Professional HVAC specialists are always busy\npurifying homes, office buildings, hospitals, and other health facilities by\ncleaning out air ducts and dryer ducts on a regular basis. I wonder if they\never thought they would have to worry about coming into a site that is contaminated\nby illicit drugs? A professional HVAC specialist does wear protective gear so\nif he comes in contact with any dangerous substances, he\u2019s ready to go.\nHowever, what about the home dwellers who do not know that there is fentanyl\npowder in their HVAC system? How can they be protected? There is no pure answer\nto this question but by having your HVAC system maintained on a regular basis\nyou will at least have clean air to breathe and hopefully no one in your home\nis on drugs. By cleaning your system regularly, you will protect your family\nfrom harmful allergens and disease-causing microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Words<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although fentanyl was approved by the FDA as a pain reliever in the early 1960\u2019s<\/a> it has only become popular as an illegal drug in this century. As fentanyl can be taken orally as well as injected and inhaled, it produces highs similar to morphine and heroin, but it takes much less to do more. Secret illegal production of fentanyl is combined with other drugs such as heroin or cocaine and even sold legally as lozenges (ACTIQ\u00ae), tablets (ABSTRAL\u00ae), sprays (SUBSYS), patches (Duragesic) and nasal sprays (Lazanda). Even if a person gets a hold of a reputable dose of fentanyl, they will generally use much more than the very small dosage directed. This is the danger in drugs such as oxycodone that are legal but there is no comparison to the overdose potential of Fentanyl derivatives. The National Forensic Laboratory Information System stated that over only three years from 2014 to 2017 production of both legal and illegal fentanyl has increased from 5,400 in 2014 to 56,500 in 2017!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
