Study:
Antimicrobial effect of surgical masks coated with nanoparticles.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16099072
"This study assessed the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles (consisting of a mixture of silver nitrate and titanium dioxide) and nanoparticle-coated facemasks to protect against infectious agents."
"A 100% reduction in viable E. coli and S. aureus was observed in the coated mask materials after 48 h of incubation."
"Skin irritation was not observed in any of the volunteers who wore the facemasks."
"Nanoparticles show promise when applied as a coating to the surface of protective clothing in reducing the risk of transmission of infectious agents."

"KeyBoard Dust Spray" is intended for use as a surface dust wipe.
