In a warehouse in Washington, D.C., masks are sprayed with hydrogen peroxide vapor in a process that is part of a government-sponsored program to decontaminate and reuse what is normally single-use personal protective equipment, according to an article on The Washington Post website.
The system is part of efforts in the D.C. area and across the country to reuse personal protective gear .
