Heat sterilization dramatically reduces filter efficiency of the majority of FFP2 and KN95 respirators
BACKGROUND: Shortages in personal protective equipment, especially respiratory protective devices (respirators), occurred during the initial phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Sterilization of used respirators can reduce these shortages. In this study, respirator testing was carried out...
