Systematic Evaluation of the Efficacy of Chlorine Dioxide in Decontamination of Building Interior Surfaces Contaminated with Anthrax Spores. APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY. American Society for Microbiology, Washington, DC, (05/01/2010):3343-3351, (2010).
Impact/Purpose:
Efficacy of chlorine dioxide (CD) gas generated by two distinct generation systems, Sabre (aqueous, gas generated in water) and ClorDiSys (dry, gas generated in air), was evaluated for inactivation of Bacillus anthracis spores on six building interior surfaces. The six building materials included carpet, acoustic ceiling tile, unpainted cinder block, painted I-beam steel, painted wallboard, and unpainted pinewood.
