Article Synopsis
- Propylene glycol vapor has a strong bactericidal effect, quickly sterilizing air in enclosed spaces when introduced alongside various microorganisms.
- Concentrations as low as 1 gm. of propylene glycol in several million cc. of air can achieve full sterilization, while lower amounts still significantly reduce airborne bacteria.
- The vapor is odorless, non-irritating, and considered non-toxic, but long-term health effects from inhaling it are under investigation.
