Evaluation of Detection and Efficacy of Decontamination of Respiratory Pathogens Including SARS-CoV-2 on Basic Military Trainee Gas Masks
Description
CONCLUSIONS: BMT gas masks can be monitored for the presence of respiratory pathogens using RT-PCR. The decontamination process removed all viable respiratory pathogens tested from the gas masks. This study demonstrates that RT-PCR can be used to
