HIV / AIDS
At the end of 2003, an estimated 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 persons in the United States were living with HIV/AIDS. In 2005, 37,331 cases of HIV/AIDS in adults, adolescents, and children were diagnosed in the 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting. CDC has estimated that approximately 40,000 persons in the United States become infected with HIV each year.

A Critical Reference For:
Science is establishing the cleaning industry as a credible and critical component of human survival. More than 90,000 people died in U.S. hospitals, alone, last year because of Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI), which has now migrated into the community (CA-MRSA).
The science of cleaning is more than the tools we use. It's how and why we use them. We can't assume a surface is clean because it looks clean. You can't believe your eyes!
We must be able to measure a surface to ensure it is healthy within acceptable scientific tolerances. This ability to be consistent results in healthy indoor environments - from room to room, building to building. This is critical to the cleaning industry because going back and forth between healthy and unhealthy buildings is counterproductive and, in some cases - deadly.
CIRI (Cleaning Industry Research Institute) has a proactive plan to attack the problem. We will develop the basic science for measuring "clean", establish which devices will be used to measure clean, and relate levels of cleanliness to human health and performance. Others can then use these fi ndings to guide their work and advance our industry.
