QUANTITATIVE METHOD TO DETERMINE SPORICIDAL DECONTAMINATION OF BUILDING SURFACES BY GASEOUS FUMIGANTS, AND ISSUES RELATED TO LABORATORY-SCALE STUDIES. APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY.

Impact/Purpose:
Chlorine dioxide (CD) gas and vaporous hydrogen peroxide (VHP®) sterilants have been used in the cleanup of building interiors contaminated with spores of Bacillus anthracis. A systematic study, in collaboration with the US EPA, was jointly undertaken by US Army to determine the sporicidal efficacy of these two fumigants on six building structural materials: carpet, ceiling tile, unpainted cinder block, painted I-beam steel, painted wallboard, and unpainted pine wood.
