Reusing Masks, Ozone and UV Decontamination

I address some questions raised in the first two videos, show how to reuse masks, explain UV light decontamination and demonstrate a simple ozone generator.

unfortunately O3 destroys plastic like a tiger on a steak. I'm on the front line down here. If you want info contact me. I'm plugged in to most of the efforts going on nationwide. UV looks like the best disinfectant so far for N95. Autoclaves destroy the masks too wet. There is a method30 min at 70C that shows promise but I say sure virus dead but what about the rest. Then there is vapor or ionized hydrogen peroxide. I like this one best. Enough you video mot mine.

one other point which I hear butcan't confirm is that the n95 works with electrostatic charge. If you use alc or bleach on it it destroys this propety

It was also found that decontamination using an autoclave, 160°C dry heat, 70% isopropyl alcohol, and soap and water (20-min soak) caused significant degradation to filtration efficiency.

I dislike this series. But anyway, some comments. First, concentrating isopropanol can be easily done by just salting it out - just add salt to isopropanol/water mix and the salt water will separate. Second, OZONE IS FREAKING TOXIC AND CARCINOGENIC!!! Third, to sanitize masks of coronavirus simply put them into the oven set to 60C for a couple of hours, no need for ozone or UV.

Yes, ozone is toxic, but it's not evil! It can be useful.

Sure, ozone is useful, but you should not be anywhere around it.

Also interesting is the production of hydroxyls (generally more effective and safer than ozone) via Titanium Dioxide photocatalysis.

Look! Someone "owns" a wavelength! "our patented wavelength (222nm) referred to by Columbia as Far-UVC." https://sterilray.com/2018/02/21/far-uvc-is-our-patented-far-uv-sterilray/ What a world...

So the eye-safe, skin safe "far UV" germicidal wavelengths require an excimer lamp. That sounds interesting. Feel like explaining excimers? Seems like such light sources need to become VERY common ASAP.

Here is a Stanford paper about how 70C heat is better than alcohol for limiting mask degradation. Check out the table later in the paper. FYI. Cheers

Scam Ingredients, never order from their store.

Why are you such a dick that you feel the need to post on every single video that these guys suck. Maybe you should stop supporting their Patreon if they suck so bad.
