BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY OF PROPIOLACTONE FOG
Abstract
Commercially synthesized propiolactone fog possesses high bactericidal and sporicidal properties. For creating a propiolactone fog under practical conditions it is possible to use the KI-1 sprayer, which creates an aerosol with a high degree of dispersity. Propiolactone fog may be used for the disinfection of isolation rooms and other isolation accommodations in an infectious disease hospital when its profile is being changed. The expenditure of preparation for these purposes should be 6 g/cu m with an exposure time of 2 hours. When disinfecting objects infected with spore forms the preparation should be used in a concentration of 12 g/cu m and an exposure time of 6 hours.
