VANGUARD PATHOGEN DEFENSE SYSTEMS

Helping to protect wastewater maintenance crews from harmful pathogens and diseases.

THE PROBLEM

For years, the wastewater industry has known that wastewater and raw sewage contain an abundance of dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Continuous exposure to these pathogens poses a health risk to wastewater operators. This fact has been acknowledged by industry organizations like the Water Environment Federation, Safety and Health in Wastewater Systems, OSHA, etc.

In addition, health officials have warned of the increased risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as superbugs. Particularly relevant to the wastewater industry is a study finding MRSA, an extremely dangerous superbug, in three of four wastewater treatment plants that were tested.
