TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“TOMI” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:
TOMZ), a global bacteria decontamination and infectious disease control
company, announced today the appointment of Mr. Jeff Citrin as Chief
Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Officer of TOMI. This position is
responsible for leading the preparation of pre-market submissions and
the management of regulatory compliance to the US EPA, USDA, FDA, NIOSH,
OSHA, and other applicable federal, state, and international regulatory
agencies in accordance with applicable regulations and guidelines. Mr.
Citrin will also develop and execute regulatory strategic plans,
policies, and procedures so that TOMI will meet regulatory as well as
customer needs and requirements.
Mr. Citrin graduated from Vassar College with a B.A. degree and attended
the University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and
School of Natural Resources and Environment, from which he received his
M.S. degree.
Previously, Mr. Citrin has worked for a Fortune 500 environmental
management consulting firm specializing in regulatory/policy support,
environmental management and development of business solutions for
numerous federal agencies including the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the US Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers. For these
and other clients, Mr. Citrin managed multiple, complex multi-million
dollar contracts, providing oversight and technical expertise on a wide
variety of environmental projects.
Since Mr. Citrin has joined TOMI, he has discovered studies, data and
testing that indicate the effectiveness of TOMI’s BIT® Technology
against VX nerve gas, Mustard Gas, Sarin and anthrax spores.
Dr. Halden Shane, TOMI’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “A person with
the background and past government experience that Jeff possesses will
help propel the Company in reaching its goal of making TOMI’s BIT®
Technology the leader in the decontamination world by laying the proper
matrixes to mold BIT® as the product of choice in CBRNE (Chemical,
Biological, Radiological and Nuclear and Explosives) decontamination
equipment. This is an additional industry group from which TOMI will
seek new revenue and sales.”
In addition, the Company announced that BIT® has been tested
at the US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), where it was
shown to effectively decontaminate chemical agents when applied using
properly developed protocols. A summary of BIT® capabilities
can be found in the US Department of Homeland Security’s “Guide for the
Selection of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear
Decontamination Equipment for Emergency First Responders, Guide 103-06.”
