FOX 29's Joyce Evans has the story. GLEN MILLS, Pa - As personal protective equipment becomes more scarce, companies have begun sanitizing and returning masks through a painstakingly thorough cleaning process.
Since Friday, Battelle global science and technology group have been processing certain N95 masks in a Delaware County food warehouse.
Vivian Smith, a Principal Research Scientist with the group, says the whole process can take up to eight hours. Most of the time is spent air-drying the masks and ensuring that there is no presence of contamination or chemicals. "We want to make sure that the vaporized hydrogen peroxide has completely left,” Smith said. RELATED Northeastern states in US to form supply chain Advertisement DHS report:
