Peroxide in nanoparticles is an effective method to disinfect areas contaminated with B-agents

Stef Stienstra

The traditional disinfection techniques using wet sprays and wipes do not eliminate the main cause
of contamination by bacteria, spores, fungi or even viruses identified as: ?the recurrent cycle of contamination?.
Although the contamination risks in relation to external agents have been clearly identified and treated, it is certainly
not the case for the surfaces and their environment: the air. There is a permanent exchange between both the surface
and the air, which can be the origin of an important contamination. Especially contamination, which was a result of a
bioterror attack.
