Decontamination of N95 and surgical masks using a treatment based on a continuous gas phase-Advanced Oxidation Process.

A gas-phase Advanced Oxidation Process (gAOP) was evaluated for decontaminating N95 and surgical masks. The continuous process was based on the generation of hydroxyl-radicals via the UV-C (254 nm) photo-degradation of hydrogen peroxide and ozone.
