Abstract
The SARS-COV-2 pandemic has generated a high demand for personal protective equipment and the waste from masks has become an environmental problem. This article provides a solution to minimize these problems through the design and construction of a personal disinfection module for N95 and KN-95 masks, in order to reuse them and extend their life time.
