A new decontamination center in Los Angeles County can decontaminate N95 masks that will allow first responders and healthcare workers countywide to safely reuse them up to 20 times, according to an article on the Los Angeles Times website.
The cleaning chamber began operating in early May. It can clean up to 30,000 masks each day.
The decontamination system uses a device about the size of a dishwasher that vaporizes hydrogen peroxide and blows out a mist that settles on and cleans the masks hanging on a rack.
The hydrogen peroxide solution costs $1,000 for a day’s use and the chamber can hold more than 10,000 masks in one cycle.
