Low-concentration hydrogen peroxide decontamination for spore contamination in buildings.

Remediation and recovery efforts after a release of (anthrax) spores may be difficult and costly. In addition, response and recovery technologies may be focused on critical resources, leaving the small business or homeowner without remediation options. This study evaluates the efficacy of relatively low levels of hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) delivered from off-the-shelf equipment for the inactivation of spores within an indoor environment.
