NY Mold & Clean Air Solutions performs comprehensive mold remediation: containment, removal of water-damaged materials, and detailed cleaning. Every job then finishes with VaPURE™ vapor to treat cross-contamination through the rest of the property. This page is the independent evidence behind that vapor stage, with links to each PDF.
The removal, containment and cleaning stages of a job follow established remediation practice. The vapor stage that finishes it has its own literature: a multi-month field test by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a compilation of GLP-compliant independent laboratory efficacy reports, and a technical white paper explaining why the vapor behaves like a gas. Skip ahead, or read each in order below.
A six-month evaluation by the Army's Engineer Research and Development Center of the VaPURE™ application system on two occupied buildings at Fort Campbell, Kentucky — measuring both initial efficacy and long-term recurrence.
The U.S. Army needed a way to remediate mold inside occupied barracks without removing structural materials or relocating soldiers. The Engineer Research and Development Center evaluated the vapor-based application system across two buildings and compared spore counts before treatment, immediately after, and again six months later.
The headline result is a sustained 95%+ reduction in spore counts at the six-month mark. Plenty of mold treatments can show a good reading on the day. This one was measured again half a year later, in occupied buildings, with no retreatment in between, and the reductions held.
The full ERDC technical report is hosted publicly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers digital library.
A compiled set of GLP-compliant independent laboratory tests of vapor peracetic acid (VPA), the chemistry used in the VaPURE™ vapor stage, against mold, bacterial and viral targets. The figures below are the laboratories', measured under test conditions.
"Good Laboratory Practice" is the methodological standard regulators apply to safety and efficacy studies, the same rigor used to evaluate pharmaceuticals. This compilation gathers a series of independent GLP-compliant lab tests of vapor peracetic acid (VPA), the chemistry used in the VaPURE™ vapor stage.
The headline finding across that laboratory panel is a Log-6+ reduction. Log-6 is the threshold a treatment has to reach to be classified as a sterilant, three orders of magnitude beyond the Log-3 mark most consumer disinfectants are tested to. These are laboratory results on the organisms the labs tested, not a claim about what happens in a particular building.
The compilation is hosted publicly and includes the methodology, organisms tested, and individual lab reports.
A technical explainer of the three variables behind the vapor stage: 7.5μm particle size, phase change, and dwell time. Together they let the treatment behave like a gas rather than a liquid.
This paper breaks down the physics of the vapor stage. Three variables, working together, are what make the treatment behave like a gas rather than a liquid: particle size, phase change, and dwell time.
Particle size. At 7.5μm, each vapor droplet is roughly 1/9th the diameter of a human hair — small enough to suspend in air and travel anywhere air goes: wall cavities, ductwork, behind cabinets, into porous building materials.
Phase change. The treatment is delivered as a liquid that flashes to vapor on application, occupying the full air volume of the structure rather than coating only the surfaces a sprayer can hit.
Dwell time. The vapor remains in suspension long enough to denature mold proteins on contact — treating the spore rather than just dislodging it.
Together, those three variables explain how the vapor stage reaches wall cavities, ductwork, porous materials and the air itself. That is why we use it to treat cross-contamination once the removal work is finished.
