INVESTIGATION ON AREA DISINFECTION WITH BETA-PROPRIOLACTONE IN AEROSOL FORM

Abstract

A report is presented on investigations dealing with the disinfectant action of a Beta-propiolactone aerosol on artificial germ aerosols of staphylococci and Coliphagens used as model viruses. In addition, the disinfectant effect of the aerosol along surfaces was tested. The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the aerolized substance, particularly in comparison to formalin, as well as its suitability in room disinfection.
