Biosecurity system using monitoring and sanitization for an agricultural dwelling

Abstract

Sanitizing an agricultural facility by placing a chamber having an open interior within the agricultural facility. An item is placed within an open interior of the chamber and a door is interlocked. Then light having a spectral content within a narrow range of wavelengths is provided from at least one lighting device toward the item for a predetermined amount of time to inactivate a microorganism. Simultaneously, ozone may be discharged into the open interior to sanitize the item. Before the door unlocks the ozone within the interior of the chamber is directed to a filter for forming oxygen. Sanitizing the agricultural facility by detect humans, and in response, providing a first light with one spectral content when the human is detected, and providing a second light with a different spectral content within a narrow range of wavelengths to inhibit bacteria growth when humans are not detected.

1 .- 8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising discharging ozone into the open interior for a predetermined period when the human is not detected. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the ozone is discharged by corona discharge. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A method of sanitizing an an industrial livestock facility, comprising:
 placing a chamber having an open interior within the industrial livestock facility;   receiving an item within the open interior of the chamber;   enclosing the open interior;   directing light having a spectral content within a narrow range of wavelengths from at least one lighting device toward the item for a predetermined amount of time to inactivate a microorganism; and   discharging ozone into the open interior.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the open interior is enclosed by a magnetically interlocked door. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  further comprising providing an ozone filter system including an intake fan that conveys ozone from the open interior to a filter that converts ozone into oxygen. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the filter comprises active charcoal. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the narrow range of wavelengths is in between 100 nanometers and 400 nanometers. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the narrow range of wavelengths is in between 400 nanometers and 450 nanometers.
