The Stearns County Sheriff's Office said a container of peracetic acid was spilled inside Cold Spring's Pilgrim's Pride facility.

Peracetic acid is a powerful oxidizer and disinfectant, primarily used in food processing, healthcare, and water treatment, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

The spill at Pilgrim's Pride in Cold Spring, MN, of peracetic acid sent 26 to a hospital and the spill was contained inside the central Minnesota meat-processing plant.

The global peracetic acid market is witnessing steady expansion due to its rising application in various end-use industries in disinfectants, sterilants, and sanitizing agents.

A recent study has used advanced techniques to uncover the role of ultraviolet (UV) light in activating peracetic acid (PAA) to generate powerful radicals, essential for water treatment. By ...

Ferrate(VI) and peracetic acid (PAA) are two oxidants of growing importance in water treatment. Recently, our group found that simultaneous application of ferrate(VI) and PAA led to much faster ...

Speciation is important because it increases biodiversity. A new thesis examines the speciation process in multiple marine species where different populations of the same species might evolve into ...

Spatial isolation is known to promote speciation -- but researchers have now shown that, at least in yeast, the opposite is also true. New ecological variants can also evolve within thoroughly ...

In a recent study, researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada found that dry fog fumigation using peracetic acid (PAA) completely deactivated SARS-CoV-2 on all nine of their test surfaces.
