PureHeat...what is it?

Heat kills living organisms. While thermophilic organisms tolerate higher temperatures, most respiring organisms do not live above 63°C for any appreciable period of time. This is because temperature has a predominant influence on the rate of chemical kinetic reactions in cellular functions/organelles. At extreme temperatures, cellular function is disrupted. Even spores and viruses, which do not actively respire, are affected by temperature.

With increased temperature, metabolic rates of most organisms increase. The volatilization rate of chemicals also increases, chemical oxidation reactions increase, evaporation rates increase, moist materials become desiccated, and proteins denature. Heat can be used to detoxify harmful chemicals produced by organisms. Milk is pasteurized at 75°C for 15 seconds to kill organisms that may spoil the milk or be harmful themselves. If the food industry uses heat to process food, why can't heat be used to treat inedible items?

Problematic organisms include toxic molds, wood-destroying fungi and insects, dust mites, cockroaches, fleas, bacteria, etc. Many organisms are associated with offensive odors, which typically consist of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs); some of these organisms may be pathogenic or vectors. In theory, if heat could be applied uniformly, consistently, and of sufficient duration to saturate structures and reach an organism's threshold temperature, structures would be free of viable organisms. A similar approach could be applied to chemical contamination, since the higher the temperature, the more chemicals will volatilize.
