Sterilize Your N95
Stanford University researchers have found that N95 masks can be effectively sterilized and reused with-
out affecting their filtration ability.
70C /158F heating in an oven for 30min, or hot watervapor from boiling water for 10 min, are additional
effective decontamination methods .
“There is no way of determining the maximum possible number of safe reuses for an N95 respirator as
a generic number to be applied in all cases . Safe N95 reuse is affected by a number of variables that impact
respirator function and contamination over time .”
