  ABSTRACT: Hydrogen Peroxide vapour is becoming more popular to use as a method of decontamination, particularly for medical equipment and enclosures. It is highly effective in terms of microbiological kill rates and has a variety of uses in healthcare. Although it is environmentally acceptable as it spontaneously decomposes into water and oxygen, concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the air needs to be monitored and controlled. A method of calibrating hydrogen peroxide vapor sensors is described which is based on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in saturated vapour over a solution in water at a defined temperature. The saturated vapour is generated by bubbling dry air into a solution of hydrogen peroxide at a defined concentration and temperature. A vapour at a concentration of 0.7 ppm was produced and used to successfully calibrate a hydrogen peroxide sensor.
