Disinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from N95 respirators with ozone: a pilot study.
Personal protective equipment shortages require the reuse of N95 respirators. We sought the necessary conditions for ozone to disinfect N95 respirators for reuse and the effects of multiple cycles of exposure. ⋯ These results suggest that ozone is a feasible strategy to disinfect N95 respirators for reuse during this and future pandemics.
