Effect of Relative Humidity
HIMMELFARB, PHILIP (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), HAMED M. EL-BISI, R. B. READ, JR., AND WARREN LITSKY. Effect of relative humidity on the bactericidal activity of propylene oxide vapor. Appl. Microbiol. 10:431-435. 1962.-Because of the low toxicity of its breakdown product, propylene oxide (PO) vapor will play an increasingly important role in the preservation of foods. It is therefor...
متن کاملEffects of relative humidity and spraying medium on UV decontamination of filters loaded with viral aerosols.
Although respirators and filters are designed to prevent the spread of pathogenic aerosols, a stockpile shortage is anticipated during the next flu pandemic. Contact transfer and reaerosolization of collected microbes from used respirators are also a concern. An option to address these potential problems is UV irradiation, which inactivates microbes by dimerizing thymine/uracil in nucleic acids...
متن کاملEffect of relative humidity on mechanical strength of zirconia/ Nafion® Nano-composite membrane
This paper presents the results of mechanical strength of wet and dry zirconia/ Nafion® nano-composite membrane. The tensile tests were conducted to determine elastic modulus and stiffness of dry and wet pristine Nafion® membrane and modified Nafion® membrane. The composite membranes were prepared by recast method of different synthesized zirconium oxide with the zirconia content of 10% by weig...
متن کاملEffect of relative humidity on fungal colonization of fiberglass insulation.
Fiberglass duct liners and fiberglass duct boards from eight buildings whose occupants complained of unacceptable or moldy odors in the air were found to be heavily colonized by fungi, particularly by Aspergillus versicolor. Unused fiberglass was found to be susceptible to fungal colonization in environmental chambers dependent upon relative humidity. No colonization was observed at relative hu...
متن کاملThe Lethal Effect of Relative Humidity on Air-borne Bacteria
The viability of pneumococcus, Type I, sprayed into the atmosphere from a liquid suspension was measured as a function of the relative humidity. When broth, saliva, or 0.5 per cent saline solution is employed as the suspending medium, a very high mortality rate is observed at relative humidities in the vicinity of 50 per cent. However, at humidities above or below this value the microorganisms ...
