Wet floors, food scraps and zoonotic germs make wet markets pathogen sinks, here is how to raise the standard
Suda manages a municipal wet market in Chonburi. The once-bustling market grew quiet, with fish and meat vendors saying customers dwindled daily, some turning away at the fishy smell, wastewater pooled in floor channels, flies on the stalls and slippery wet floors layered with the day's scraps.
Suda knew it was not just odour. In a market selling meat, fish and offal, wet floors and food scraps breed bacteria and let zoonotic germs spread, with flies carrying them everywhere. Left alone, the market would lose customers, image and the health of everyone in it.
Hygiene: wet floors, meat and fish scraps and pooled wastewater breed bacteria and zoonotic germs, with flies and pests spreading them market-wide.
Trade: fishy odour and a dirty image send customers to malls or cleaner markets, cutting vendor income and municipal stall rents.
Municipal image: a wet market is the municipality's face; a dirty, smelly one reflects on management and invites sanitation complaints.
Hosing rinses scraps away but does not kill bacteria embedded in floor channels, stalls, chopping blocks and the odour-laden air, and it leaves floors damp, just what germs love. Lime powder or deodoriser only masks odour briefly. Wet markets need disinfectant fogging that covers surfaces and air, cutting germs and odour at the source without adding dampness.
The municipality uses the AIROFOG U260 to fog the whole market after closing each day, floors, drainage channels, stalls, chopping blocks and hall air. Its 15-30 micron dry mist coats every surface and disperses in the air, cutting bacteria and odour at the source without making floors wetter. At 3.4 kg with a 5-litre tank, one officer fogs the whole market fast after closing, and the six nozzle settings and 50 cm trunk hose reach drainage channels and under stalls where germs accumulate. Odour and flies fell sharply, the market looked cleaner, and customers returned with confidence.
Why modern wet markets and municipalities choose the AIROFOG U260:
Since the municipality fogs with the U260 every evening, the fishy smell and flies dropped a lot, vendors say customers are coming back, and our market looks clean enough to earn compliments.Suda, municipal wet market manager, Chonburi
