Method for using FIFRA-exempt substances, materials exhibiting antimicrobial, insecticidal, biocidal and/or odor controlling properties having one or more of these substances coated thereon and/or incorporated therein, and products that are made using these materials

摘要

A method for using FIFRA-exempt substances (e.g., essential oils), materials having one or more such substances coated thereon and/or incorporated therein, and products that are made using these materials, are provided. The properties demonstrated by the inventive materials and products include the control or killing of, for example, decay causing organisms, human pathogens, insects, nematodes, bivalves and spats, and odor removal by destruction of bacteria, mold, fungus and yeasts.
