How should disinfectants be used correctly during the pandemic?
The epidemic has continued until now, and good news keeps coming. There have been no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 for several consecutive days in various provinces across the country, but now is a critical time for epidemic prevention and control, and the correct use of scientific disinfectants is very important.Today, I will share some small knowledge about disinfectants!
Disinfectants can be roughly divided into 9 types, all of which can inactivate the novel coronavirus. The novel coronavirus is an enveloped RNA virus, and in principle, once the envelope is destroyed by the disinfectant, the RNA is also easily decomposed, rendering the virus ineffective.
The above are the types and principles of disinfectants. For the general public, using conventional disinfectants during an infectious disease period is sufficient. It can effectively prevent the spread without occupying medical resources.
One,Correct use of 75% medical alcohol
1. Storage and recycling must be kept away from fire sources. When the concentration in the air reaches 19% and the temperature is above 13, it will flash when encountering sparks!
2. The storage temperature must not exceed 30℃, and it should be protected from sunlight.
3. Cleaning tools contaminated with alcohol should be washed with clean water and sealed after use.
4. When alcohol catches fire, cover the fire with a large wet cloth to cut off the oxygen; this is the most reliable way to extinguish it.
Two, 84 disinfectant
Correct usage of 84 disinfectant
1. Please wear gloves when using it, and do not touch the skin. 84 disinfectant has certain irritant and corrosive properties and must be diluted before use (see instructions).
2. When used for clothing disinfection, the concentration must be low, and the soaking time should not be too long.
3. After use, due to its volatility, the container should be covered. Otherwise, it will quickly become ineffective.
4. Disinfectants should be prepared and used immediately, and do not dilute with water above 50 degrees.
5. 84 disinfectant should not be used with toilet cleaning agents, as it will produce harmful gases. Mild cases may cause coughing and chest pain, while severe cases may lead to difficulty breathing or even death.
A special note about air disinfection: the official recommendation is to open windows for ventilation. Why are disinfectants not recommended? Because they can cause damage to the respiratory system, toxic gases, and flammable and explosive gases.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that for hand disinfection, alcohol is the first choice.If you want to disinfect other areas, please choose disinfectants like 84 disinfectant, which are cheap and safe. It must be applied locally, and it is absolutely not recommended to use alcohol for spray disinfection or large-area disinfection.
