SoftOx Solutions AS (SoftOx), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based
in Norway, notes the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment's (Forsvarets
Forskningsinstitutt (FFI)) field experiment evaluating non-alcohol
disinfectants, including SafeDes+, SoftOx's alcohol-free hand disinfectant, in
comparison with alcohol-based disinfectants.

The field experiment took place in Hemsedal, Norway and collected data from 175
indoor air quality sensors to assess the importance of air quality and
employees' ability to perform assigned tasks. 

According to the report, alcohol-free disinfectants reduced the level of
volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the air during the intervention period by
30-60% when compared with alcohol disinfectants. 

The data also represent a statistically significant association between reported
long-term sick leave, VOC and temperature, which are relevant to employee
performance and well-being.   

Additional analysis shows that employees experienced a better indoor environment
and well-being during work hours when using non-alcohol disinfectant products.
