Abstract
The germicidal activity of glycol vapor on air-suspended bacteria and viruses has been clearly demonstrated. The most suitable compound thus far found for use in such air disinfection is triethylene glycol. When dispersed in air as a true vapor in exceedingly small amounts it is highly germicidal for pathogens of the respiratory tract, including influenza virus. It is nontoxic, nonirritating, odorless, tasteless, invisible, and inexpensive. Satisfactory devices for the vaporization and regulation of bactericidal concentrations of glycol are now made and are in use.
