Filtering Facepiece Respirator (N95 Respirator) Reprocessing A Systematic Review

Max A. Schumm et al.

Summary: Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, moist heat, and microwave-generated steam processing are effective methods for decontamination of filtering facepiece respirators, while vaporized hydrogen peroxide is a suitable alternative with longer decontamination durations and higher costs. Ethylene oxide, although effective, may leave toxic residues and is more difficult to implement.

Cotton and Surgical Face Masks in Community Settings: Bacterial Contamination and Face Mask Hygiene

Lize Delanghe et al.

Summary: During the study, it was found that wearing masks for an extended period of time can lead to the accumulation of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains. There are significant differences in the microbial communities on cotton masks compared to surgical masks. Proper cleaning and disinfection of masks are crucial to reduce the bacterial biosafety risk associated with mask use.

Recharging N95 masks using a van de Graaff generator for safe recycling

K. Sugihara

Summary: N95 respirators are used in the COVID-19 pandemic to filter virus-containing aerosols using static electricity. Due to shortages, hospitals need to recycle N95 respirators, but standard sterilization methods compromise their filtering effect by affecting electrostatic charges. The study found that using a van de Graaff generator can safely and quickly recover the polypropylene electric charges lost during sterilization processes, restoring the masks' filtering function.
