About
Dr. Ervin retired from the Air Force as a Colonel with over 28 years’ experience as practicing general surgeon, flight surgeon and health care leader. His leadership and clinical experience includes several headquarters positions at Air Force Air Mobility Command, Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Special Operations Command, Europe, as well as Element and Division Chief positions at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and Hurlburt Field.
Dr. Ervin transitioned a number of the concepts he developed for improving the sterility of air and surfaces into strategies to mitigate risk of COVID infection in military health care, training, operations centers and other critical military infrastructures. He co-authored the far reaching doctrinal thesis on incorporating military air defense concepts to combat a microscopic air based threat – “A Multi-Layer Air Defense to Protect Critical Infrastructures”.
We use our Patent Pending “Air Defense Assessment Tool” (ADAT) which is a proprietary process to support
the “Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Hierarchy of Controls” diagram below.
ADAT evaluates and determines the most effective and efficient combinations of indoor
air quality sanitization technologies and a specific quantity of equipment
along with application rates to provide the highest level of protection
from microbial pathogens, viruses, mold, and pollen in the air and on surfaces.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Hierarchy of Controls
Overview
Controlling exposures to occupational hazards is the fundamental method of protecting workers.
Traditionally, a hierarchy of controls has been used as a means of determining
how to implement feasible and effective control solutions.
The idea behind this hierarchy is the control methods at the top of graphic
are potentially more effective and protective than those at the bottom.
Following this hierarchy normally leads to the implementation of inherently safer systems,
where the risk of illness or injury has been substantially reduced. (Source: NIOSH)
