Epidemic prevention should avoid 6 misunderstandings to avoid home disinfection

Disinfection is one of the effective ways to block virus transmission, but unreasonable disinfection methods may endanger health. To this end, disease -control experts reminded that at home disinfection during the epidemic, the following 6 misunderstandings should be avoided.

Misunderstanding 1: Excessive disinfection and ignore daily cleaning

Family protection should be clean and supplemented by disinfection. If there are no new crown cases in the community, there are no outsiders in the family and there are no suspected symptoms of self -isolation, then they do not need to disinfect daily cleaning without daily cleaning. Unreasonable disinfection methods not only do not play the role of killing viruses, but may cause damage to the body or environment.

Misunderstanding 2: The concentration of disinfection agent is too high or too low

The concentration of disinfection agent is too high or too low, and the disinfection effect is not achieved. The commercially available disinfection agent should be diluted in accordance with the instructions. The use of 75 % concentration should be used for disinfection. The powerful disinfectant generally has a strong irritation. If the concentration is too high, it may cause irritation to the human mouth, respiratory tract, lungs and other parts, and even the risk of damage to organs and tissues.

Misunderstanding 3: Mixed use of different types of disinfection agents

The mixed use of two or more disinfection agents can easily cause chemical reactions and may cause damage. 84 The chlorine gas generated after the disinfectant and alcohol mixes can stimulate and damage the respiratory tract. When the concentration reaches 3000 mg/cubic meter, it can cause death. 84 Disinfection and mixing with toilets will produce toxic gases, stimulating the human throat, respiratory tract, and lungs and cause poisoning.

Misunderstanding 4: Washing hand -free and disinfection solution instead of mobile water washing

The disinfection of hand -free hand washing contains sterilization ingredients (mainly alcohol), and has a certain disinfection effect. But the disinfection ingredients often have a certain irritation and may cause skin allergic reactions. If you have the conditions, wash your hands with flowing water as much as possible, and use soap or hand -washing solution to carefully clean your fingertips, palms, and wrists.

Misunderstanding 5: Disinfection can be disinfected with boiling water with boiling water

Household catering utensils and other boiling water can be disinfected for 10 minutes. Dining utensils must be immersed in boiling water. After the catering utensils are cleaned and disinfected, pay attention to keep it dry when stored.

Misunderstanding 6: Put the disinfectant after use

Chemical disinfection agents are mostly flammable, explosive, and easy to corrode. Pay attention to safety during storage and use. It should be placed in a cool place to avoid light and heat to ensure that children are not easy to touch. The rag or other items used for disinfection should be dried in the wind after using a large amount of water after use. It should not be too much to buy a disinfection agent at a time. The container that stores the disinfection agent must have a closed lid. Single bottle packaging should not exceed 500 ml.
