  9. Vaporized hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporized_hydrogen_peroxide

    VHP is produced from a solution of liquid H 2 O 2 and water, by generators specifically designed for the purpose. These generators initially dehumidify the ambient air, then produce VHP by passing aqueous hydrogen peroxide over a vaporizer, and circulate the vapor at a programmed concentration in the air, typically from 140 ppm to 1400 ppm, depending on the infectious agent to be cleared.
