Real visitor votes, updated the moment someone answers. Never padded.
Live totals for every sanitization & fogging poll on this site. A poll with only a few votes tells you very little, so treat these numbers as conversation starters and compare them with the sourced figures further down.

A poll result on this page shows what people believe or prefer about fogging and related methods. A number on another page shows what an agency measured or what a regulator decided. They can look the same in a chart and mean very different things. Say a poll shows most people think electrostatic spraying works better than wiping. That measures confidence, not how well it works. It still has value. It tells you how staff and building users may react to a change. It also shows where a vendor's marketing has been most convincing. But do not use it to pick a method for a school or gym as if it were test data.
Sourced numbers come with a citation and a clear scope. You can check what was measured, by whom, and under what conditions. Poll results come from people who chose to answer, and they may have read the question in different ways. When the two point in different directions, let the sourced number guide your planning. Let the poll guide how you talk to people. Look for places where opinion and evidence disagree. Those are where a building is most likely to overspend on showy treatments. They are also where it may underspend on the routine cleaning those treatments depend on. A few minutes with the study guide usually clears up the gap.
Visitors to this page are not a random sample of everyone who deals with sanitization & fogging. People arrive here because they are planning, worried or curious, so the mix of answers can lean toward whoever was searching that week. Watch the vote count under each poll before you draw a conclusion, and compare what people think with the sourced figures below.
Fire and EMS professionals report a lifetime suicide attempt rate of 6.6%, compared with 0.5% of civilians, according to research cited by SAMHSA.

In NSF International's household germ study, coliform bacteria were found on more than 75% of dish sponges or rags and 45% of kitchen sinks across 22 households.

Traumatic losses (homicide, suicide, overdose, crash) produced higher rates of grief disorders, with 13.8% of traumatically bereaved adults meeting criteria for PGD, PTSD and depression together.

These figures are public research and agency data, not this network's own job records. Keep each number with its population, year and limits; none of them predicts cost, timing or outcome at a specific property.
Each poll counts one vote per visitor. When you answer, your choice is added to that option's total. The percentages show how votes divide among the options. The totals include every vote recorded for that poll, not a sample. The audience is whoever chooses to vote. So the numbers show the views of people who visited, not everyone who manages a building.
Yes. If you answer the same poll again from the same device and connection, your new choice replaces your old one. It does not add a second vote. That lets you update your answer if your thinking changes, for example after reading an article or talking with a company. It also keeps one visitor from padding one option by voting over and over.
New votes come in, and some visitors change their answers. When a poll has few votes, even a handful of new ones can move the percentages a lot. Shifts can also reflect who happened to visit that week. An example is a group of school staff or gym owners reading the same article. Watch the vote count along with the percentages before you read much into a change.
The site makes a scrambled code from your connection details so it can spot a repeat vote. It stores that code, not the raw details. It does not ask for your name or email to vote. Only the code and your chosen option are kept for each poll. The totals shown on this page never identify anyone who voted.
Use them to predict reactions, not to choose a method. If most people favor a practice you plan to change, expect questions from staff and prepare a short explanation. If results show confusion about labels or re-entry, those are topics worth covering in a briefing. Pair any poll you mention with the product label and your own records. Those carry the real weight.
They cannot tell you whether a product works, whether a method is safe in your building, or what your local rules require. They do not measure illness, how clean surfaces are, or cost. A popular answer is not proof that it is right. For those questions, rely on the product label, your health department or state agency, company records, and the sourced numbers on this page.
Some polls are newer or cover narrower topics, so fewer visitors have answered them so far. A poll with few votes can swing sharply with each new answer. Read it as an early signal at most. Adding your own answer helps. Check back later, or compare it with related polls in the same category to get a broader sense of opinion.

Check whether you can spot a label mismatch, fogging with people present, or a skipped cleaning step. Then review the study guide.
