Is disinfectant harmful?

Various disinfectants have different chemical compositions, but inhalation is definitely harmful to the body and will stimulate the respiratory system. Sensitive people are prone to respiratory inflammation and weaken the body's resistance.

In particular, chlorine-containing disinfectants are more harmful, and the biggest advantage of chlorine-containing disinfectants is their obvious bactericidal effect. But at the same time of sterilization, chlorine-containing disinfectant will remain in the air, will not volatilize, and will pollute the water source. What is even more frightening is that its three effects-carcinogenesis, teratogenesis and gene mutation-will also cause considerable harm to the human body.

Extended data:

In the early days, it was only used in hospitals to disinfect various medical instruments, fabrics, walls, floors and toilets. Now you can buy 84 disinfectant everywhere on the market. Pay attention to the following points when using:

Disinfectants 1 and 84 are irritating and corrosive, so they must be diluted before use. Generally, the dilution concentration is 2/1000 to 5/1000, that is, 2 to 5 ml of 84 disinfectant is put into 1000 ml of water. The soaking time is 10 to 30 minutes. Disinfected items should be completely soaked in water and washed with clean water before use.

2, 84 disinfectant has a strong bleaching effect and corrosiveness, and it is best not to use it for clothing disinfection. When it must be used, the concentration should be low and the soaking time should not be too long.

3.84 The failure principle of disinfectant is the same as disinfection, so the container containing disinfectant must be covered, otherwise the generated HClO will decompose (2HClO= illumination = 2 HCl+O2 =), and the disinfection effect will not be achieved.

4, don't mix 84 disinfectant with other detergents or disinfectants, because it will increase the concentration of chlorine in the air, causing chlorine poisoning.

5, to distinguish the concept of disinfection and detoxification, if there are other food or drug poisoning, remember not to use 84 disinfectant as an antidote, to seek medical advice in time.
