Abstract
Investigation of the viricidal effect of a mixture of ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide on two viruses, Columbia SK and vaccinia, yielded favourable results. Since ethylene oxide also exerts a germicidal effect, it offers simple and inexpensive disinfection of certain materials, especially those of low thermostability.Keywords
