The use of STERIS Corporation's Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP(Trade Name) (VHP is a registered trademark of the STERIS Corporation)) technology as a potential biocide for aircraft decontamination was demonstrated in a cabin section of the Aircraft Environment Research Facility (an FAA-owned Boeing 747). When exposed to an appropriate concentration of VHP vapor in the cabin test section, biological indicators inoculated with 10(sup 6) colony forming units of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores demonstrated a total suppression of culture growth. Efficacy was demonstrated with and without seats in the test section of the aircraft. The importance of adequate air mixing was also demonstrated.
