20.500.12556/RUL-124023 Sterilization of polypropylene membranes of facepiece respirators by ionizing radiation Ionizing radiation has been identified as an option for sterilization of disposable filtering facepiece respirators in situations where the production of the respirators cannot keep up with demand. Gamma radiation and high energy electrons penetrate deeply into the material and can be used to sterilize large batches of masks within a short time period. In relation to reports that sterilization by ionizing radiation reduces filtration efficiency of polypropylene membrane filters on account of static charge loss, we have demonstrated that both gamma and electron beam irradiation can be used for sterilization, provided that the respirators are recharged afterwards. personal protection equipment respirators COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 sterilization ionizing radiation polypropylen membrane jedrska fizika ionizirajoče sevanje osebna zaščitna oprema respiratorji sterilizacija COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 polipropilenska membrana true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2020-12-21 10:49:55 2020-12-21 10:49:58 2023-09-05 09:22:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 7 str. art. 118756 Vol. 619 Feb. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 539.1 0376-7388 10.1016/j.memsci.2020.118756 32105219 RAZ_Pirker_Luka_2021.pdf RAZ_Pirker_Luka_2021.pdf 1 AA80B2533ECAD786FEA592C5D4903FAA d54d586e5680bedcff6c299667e097fe5f1d517e61faedf09c1e386d4e3c38c9 74bf381d-a1bb-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=139402 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376738820313326 0 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=139997 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
