Although the team at Wonder Makers takes pride in being knowledgeable about a wide variety of indoor environmental contaminants, we never really anticipated becoming experts in the field of hydroxyl radicals. However, as both consultants and instructors for the restoration industry, we field numerous questions about technologies promoted to fire, water, and mold remediation contractors. Of course, many of those inquiries are about the efficacy of specific products, but even those sorts of information requests about a particular item often leads to broader research.

With over three decades of service, Wonder Makers has done a lot of research supplemented by real-world testing of asbestos sampling tools, lead check swabs, spore trap sampling devices, ozone generators, ultrasonic cleaners, Esporta wash systems, hydroxyl radical generators, and a whole host of chemical products. Sharing the research and test results through white papers, articles in industry journals, and presentations at restoration conferences has helped to educate the entire industry and solidify our organization's reputation. Sometimes, as with the research we did on hydroxyl radicals, we end up being identified as an "expert" regarding those devices that is not encumbered with a potential conflict of interest of being an equipment manufacturer.
