Jancast #164 -Podcasting to a cleaner & healthier world
The truth about ATP Meters and much more

On this week’s show, we do a deep dive into ATP meters, and like our previous shows on electrostatic sprayers, there are a lot of misconceptions and incorrect info on the proper use of these devices and what they can actually do.

We have a special guest- Bob Ferguson, who is President of Strategic Consulting, Inc. (www.strategic-consult.com) and has more than 40 years of experience in microbiology, industrial hygiene, and indoor environments in commercial buildings. Here are a few of the things we cover-

  1. What is an ATP meter, and how do they work?
  2. Are they all the same or are they all different?
  3. What issues do you see with people not using the ATP meter correctly?

The Just the Facts Ma’am Show
In this episode we do a follow-up to our last Jancast’s covering electrostatic sprayers. We had a great response to those shows based on the downloads and feedback you have sent. That was a deep dive into the technology, why some units (almost all) don’t work, and why some do. If you missed them, watch/ listen to #160 & 161; just scroll down.
Mark and I discuss the protocol EPA has established for adding electrostatic use to labels. We also look out into the future with the testing requirements now set for getting approval on a residual disinfectant. During the early days of the pandemic, companies were making false claims about the residual activity of their products when there was not even a process to make such a statement. The big question will be who gets approved first.

Jancast #161 -Podcasting to a cleaner & Healthier world

After the last Jancast (#160), where we talked about electrostatic sprayers, we were contacted by Steve Cooper of ByoPlanet, who has been working with these devices since the 80’s.. We chatted with him and learned a lot, so we decided he would be a great guest for our Jancast audience. Thanks to Steve, we now know why most of the units out there do not work. Self-serving plug, our products work well through their units.
