    [ Chemical Machinery Equipment Network Industry News ] Disinfection is an important measure to cut off the transmission of infectious diseases.
    Since the global outbreak of the epidemic, everyone's understanding of the "importance of disinfection" has become more and more clear, and all kinds of large and small disinfection work It has also become more everyday
    .
    On the market, there are also various types of disinfection products for everyone to choose from, such as 75% alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectants,
    etc.
    However, behind the frequent use of these disinfectants, more attention and consideration should be given to whether the disinfectants are used correctly and whether these disinfectants will pollute the human body and the environment
    .

    When disinfecting homes and public places, chlorine-containing disinfectants play an important role due to their low price and high efficiency.
    The more common 84 disinfectants and bleaching powders in our lives are chlorine-containing disinfectants
    .
    The rational use of chlorine-containing disinfectants can kill or inhibit the growth and reproduction of viruses, but studies have shown that the disinfection by-products caused by the use of large-dose, high-concentration chlorine-containing disinfectants will cause potential toxicity to the ecological environment.
    , which will affect the environment, human body and microorganisms
    .

     

    If chlorine-containing disinfectants are used improperly, a large amount of disinfectants may diffuse into the atmosphere, flow into surface water or seep into groundwater, thereby threatening the local water ecosystem and human health
    .
    Experts from the Health Education Institute of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention also said: "Disinfectants can inhibit and kill viruses, but excessive disinfection is equivalent to poisoning
    .
    " Therefore, in the process of disinfection, it is necessary to take into account the disinfection effect and environmental impact, and it is crucial to standardize the use of chlorine-containing disinfection products
    .

     

    On February 18, 2020, the National Health and Health Commission issued the "Guidelines for the Use of Disinfectants", which clearly requires that during the epidemic prevention and control period, the "five strengthening and seven inappropriate" should be strictly followed, and disinfectants should be used correctly and rationally, so as to truly cut off the transmission route.
    Control the spread of infectious diseases
    .
    All localities responded positively and paid more and more attention to the adverse effects of disinfection by-products in the process of epidemic prevention and control
    .

     

    The standardized use of chlorine-containing disinfectants can be started from three aspects
    .
    The first is to start with reduction at the source.
    The disinfection of households and public places must be carried out in strict accordance with the instructions for use to avoid excessive use of disinfectants.
    When using outdoors, special attention should be paid to nearby areas such as reservoirs and lakes
    .
    The second is the control process.
    For example, excessive use of chlorine-containing disinfectants will affect the effect of urban sewage treatment.
    Therefore, the instantaneous fluctuation characteristics of residual chlorine should be paid close attention to during the operation of sewage treatment plants, and corresponding measures should be taken
    .
    The third is to start from the end of the treatment.
    For example, after the chlorine-containing tail water of the sewage treatment plant is discharged into the water environment, artificial ecological technology should be used for treatment to remove residual pollutants in the water quality, so as to minimize the adverse effects
    .

     

      No one can be immune to the adverse effects caused by excessive use of disinfectants.
    Therefore, chlorine-containing disinfectants should be used correctly and reasonably in all places, and must be strictly controlled from the source to the process and to the end treatment
    .
    Although the effect of disinfectants is strong, do not use too much, and always be vigilant about the impact of disinfectants on the ecological environment and the human body
    .
