Durability of Disposable N95 Mask Material When Exposed to Improvised Ozone Gas Disinfection

A common misconception among biomedical scientists that ozone is far too destructive for disinfecting N95 masks. However, direct measurements show that mask materials, specifically the filtration material, can withstand dozens of ozone disinfection cycles without any measurable degradation of filtration efficiency, nor any visible discoloration or loss of fiber integrity. The data are clear: when subjected to a virucidal dose of ozone for a much longer duration than is required for viral inactivation, there was no degradation of N95 filtration efficiency.
