Rice University Creates Effective Recipe To Decontaminate Disposable COVID Facemasks at Home
Lead Image: Rice University graduate students Faye Yap, left, and Zhen Liu characterize a mask sample. Researchers at Rice and the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, have established a framework for properly decontaminating disposable facemasks. They determined that heating a mask in a 160-degrees-Fahrenheit oven for five minutes kills more than 99.9% of the viruses they tested, including SARS-CoV-2. Credit: Jeff Fitlow/Rice University Heating PPE to the right degree kills 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 virus without degrading material. Here’s the recipe to decontaminate a disposable facemask: Heat it at 160 degrees Fahrenheit in an oven for five minutes. You can…
