FREDERICK, Md., Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.^® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global leader in disinfection and decontamination solutions, today confirmed that it is prepared to support any increase in request for preparedness planning, equipment and decontamination services, and to provide front-line support for local or regional outbreaks anywhere in the world.

This is followed by the recent public reports regarding the death of a laboratory worker at an anti-plague research institute in Russia’s Irkutsk region, with approximately 200 individuals placed under medical observation. Russian health authorities have described the case as pneumonia of unknown origin, and the cause has not been officially confirmed. Independent public health experts have said that a wider epidemic appears unlikely, and the pneumonic plague is treatable with antibiotics when diagnosed promptly. TOMI is closely monitoring the situation.

Events of this kind prompt hospitals, laboratories, emergency services and government agencies to review their own readiness. TOMI is prepared to support those efforts with SteraMist systems that are ready to deploy, on-site decontamination through its service department, and the reach of its global partner network.

“Preparedness is built before it is needed,” stated Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI Environmental Solutions. “Our technology, service team and partners are in place, and we are ready to support health systems, laboratories, and responders wherever they ask for it. We will continue to follow the guidance of public health authorities and respond to requests as they come.”

Organizations seeking preparedness support or service deployment can contact TOMI at info@tomimist.com or SteraMist.com.
