Effect of various decontamination procedures on disposable N95 mask integrity and SARS-CoV-2 infectivity

Effect of various decontamination procedures on disposable N95 mask integrity and SARS-CoV-2 infectivity

Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a high demand on personal protective equipment, including disposable N95 masks. Given the need for mask reuse, we tested the feasibility of vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP), ultraviolet light (UV), and ethanol decontamination strategies on...
