Hazmatician Chronicles Installment 6: COVID-19 Update 2
In this installment, I give an overview of current U.S. and Florida COVID-19 statistics. From there I discuss some of the comments I have received regarding using UV light to disinfect N95 masks, attempts to prolong PPE life, and different disinfectants listed on the CDC website (link is below). I also, discuss the use of O3 (ozone) machines for disinfecting purposes and the safety aspect of the dangers of O3, and why it is paramount to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using these machines. Another topic that is talked about is properly doffing Level C attire and avoiding cross-contamination by not touching the inside of the suit.
