Abstract

Limited availablilty of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to frequent unsafe reuse of personal protective clothing by healthcare workers and the public The application of ozone gas to sterilize PPEs for reuse has been proposed However, the potential damage inflicted on the fabrics has not been reported in the scientific literature A study was conducted to investigate the changes in fabric elasticity that may be associated with a two-hour exposure to ozone gas at a concentration of 17 ppm No significant material degradation was found The results suggest that use of ozone gas to sterilize PPEs for reuse against COVID-19 virus can be effective Copyright © 2020 Textile Bioengineering and Informatics Society

织物对新冠肺炎臭氧消毒的反应

在当前的新冠肺炎大流行期间，个人防护设备（PPE）的可用性有限，导致医护人员和公众频繁不安全地重复使用个人防护服。有人建议使用臭氧气体对个人防护设备进行消毒，以便重复使用。然而，科学文献中尚未报道对织物造成的潜在损害进行了一项研究，以调查织物弹性的变化，这可能与暴露于浓度为17ppm的臭氧气体中两小时有关。未发现显著的材料降解。研究结果表明，使用臭氧气体对个人防护用品进行消毒，以防再次使用新冠肺炎病毒可生效版权所有©2020纺织生物工程与信息学学会
