Abstract

A method of sterilisation, sanitisation and/or decontamination comprises the steps of producing a humidified environment having a relative humidity corresponding to a partial pressure of water vapour that is higher than 5.00 torr; discharging ozone into the humidified environment; maintaining the ozone level at a concentration that will achieve the required degree of decontamination and sterilisation of the humid environment; reducing the concentration of ozone in the decontamination and/or sterilised environment to a predetermined level, preferably by passing the environment through a catalyst or photochemical device; introducing a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond into the environment to react preferentially with the discharged ozone; and, optionally, recycling the decontaminated and sterilised environment through the catalyst until the concentration of harmful byproducts falls to a safe level. The ozone level is reduced by introducing a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond, such as an alkene or a cyclo-alkene to the environment. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also claimed.
