this study showed that UVC irradiation at the dosage 300 uWatt-sec/cm2 for 1 minute satisfactorily decontaminated the silicone mask as measured by viral culture. The timing to eradicate bacteria was 60 minutes longer due to the tolerability of the bacteria .70% alcohol effectively decontaminate the virus and bacteria deposited on the masks and filters. Good level of fit can be maintained following UVC treatment. The tensile strength of the strap was retained over multiple decontamination cycles using UVC and dry heat upto 60 cycles.Given the efficacy of the disinfection by UVC and 70 % alcohol ,these types of decontamination method could potentially be used for the new type of silicone masks half-piece respirator in the setting of a crisis with inadequate supplies of PPE.
