1-35. (canceled)
A sanitization system, comprising:
- a base comprising a sanitizing chamber, the sanitizing chamber comprising at least one exhaust port;
- a sanitizing gas generator configured to supply a sanitizing gas and to fluidly couple to the sanitizing chamber;
- a primary fan or pump configured to push or draw at least a portion of said sanitizing gas from the sanitizing gas generator to the sanitizing chamber;
- and
- a secondary fan or pump configured to push or draw at least a portion of said sanitizing gas through the at least one exhaust port;
- wherein:
- the base further comprises a filter tray that is configured to receive a filter therein, the filter comprising a filter inlet;
- the filter tray is movable between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- in the closed position, the filter tray is configured to position the filter such that the filter inlet is in fluid communication with the at least one exhaust port.
