question for any virologists or informed souls... in time of short supply can a N95 style mask be sanitized by ozone (O3) or UV?....would allow individual users to sanitize their own masks without cross contamination... possibly if there is enough water in the protein sheath of the Wuhan strain to be destroyed by a microwave...or high wet or dry temps?... just questioning
I claim no hard evidence on this. But if it were my situation, I would soak them in methyl hydrate.
Folks, I've looked into this further, and I'm going to walk back on that statement. It turns out that methanol is the poorest of the alcohols from a disinfecting perspective. It's a great solvent and cleaner, so perhaps useful as part of a process, but not a reliable disinfectant. Apologies for the misinformation.
