Impact/Purpose:
Poster presentation on Environmental Decon approaches for non-spore-forming biologicals will determine the persistence of Francisella tularensis (F.t.) and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus (VEEV) under various environmental conditions, over time, on both glass and paper surfaces
Description:
Altered Environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) were evaluated as potential low-tech decontamination approaches. Data are presented in this poster at the EPA International Decontamination Research and Development Conference
