On October 7, 2020 from 2 pm to 6 pm the webinars were conducted as a part of the CEI project, and constituting an accompanying event to the NUTECH 2020 conference.
The program included a series of 4 lectures in English:
2.00 pm: Lecture 1: Ionizing radiation sources used in the process of radiation sterilization
(Dr. Zbigniew Zimek)
2.50 pm: Lecture 2a: Microbiological aspects of the process of radiation sterilization with the emphasis of virus sterilization possibility
(Dr. Sylwester Sommer)
Lecture 2b: Low dose of radiation chest therapy - is it possible and effective in case of Covid-19?
(Dr. Sylwester Sommer)
4.00 pm: Lecture 3: Ionising radiation influence on the physico-chemical and functional properties of the materials
(DSc eng. Krystyna Cieśla)
5.00 pm: Lecture 4: Radiation sterilization of medical equipment, personal protection equipment, and the other microbiologically infected objects
(Dr. eng. Andrzej Rafalski)
The following issues were discussed during the meeting:
• the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, comparison of gamma radiation and electron beam,
• biological effects of radiation and microbiological aspects of the radiation sterilization process,
• the problems of possible changes in the functional properties of the particular materials during the sterilization processing,
• radiation sterilization of medical devices.
Participation in the webinars was FREE.
The webinar was attended by about 120 participants from 33 countries including 67 participants from the 17 countries of CEI. Participants received CERTIFICATES of participation in lectures.
