TOMI Environmental Solutions Announces the Successful Elimination of Infectious
Bacteria and Spores Using Their Ultra-D Technology in a Hospital Operating Room
Setting

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In mid-September 2009,
TOMI (OTCBB:TOMZ), working with a leading East Coast hospital and a national
premier hospital service group, employed its Ultra-D Hydrogen Peroxide based
fogging system against challenge plates inoculated with Klebsiella bacteria and
Geobacillus Stearothermophilus spores. These Pathogens are much more difficult
to kill than MRSA, H1N1 (Swine flu) and C-Diff which are plaguing American
schools and hospitals. Assured Biotechnology Labs developed the challenge
plates, which is an AIHA accredited, EPA licensed and CDC Elite laboratory.

Klebsiella bacteria and Geobacillus Stearothemophilus spores were used to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the Ultra-D technology against drug resistant
and spore forming organisms such as MRSA, VRE and C-Diff. Challenge plates were
strategically placed throughout the operating room and then exposed to thirty
minutes of Ultra-D treatment.

The challenge plates were then incubated for seven days, which revealed a total
elimination of both bacterial and spores.

The Ultra-D technology activates Hydrogen Peroxide, which then produces hydroxyl
radicals, which kill bacteria, fungi and viruses within seconds of contact.
Healthcare facilities worldwide are dealing with an increase in drug resistant
pathogens that infect over two million patients in the United States each year.
Hospital acquired infections kill 271 people daily, which equates to a major
airline crash. The Ultra-D is an emerging technology that provides rapid
high-level disinfection while using hydrogen peroxide that leaves no residue,
does not damage disposables and is safe for the environment.
