ABSTRACT

In Bangladesh, Government and private institutes have taken an integrated approach like cleaning programs and disinfecting surfaces of the environment in both the health and non-healthcare zone by using conventional disinfectants. Several compounds are widely used as disinfectants that contain hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, EDTA, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, bleaching powder solutions. In addition, quaternary ammonium, organic acid, alcohol, aldehyde, iodine, and several halogenated compounds have strong positive effects for several microorganisms. It was supposed to be that the use of disinfection is beneficial in preventing infectious diseases and they assumed that several compounds like phenolic, chlorine, and ethanoic products inhibit transmission of rhinoviruses and rotavirus from stainless steel disks to finger pads. The combination of disinfectants during preparation and use causes respiratory irritation and can release potentially lethal gases, especially wheamalgamated with hypochlorite solution. Besides, to destroy SARS-CoV-2, spraying on porous surfaces, such as unpaved walkways and sidewalks was less effective. Streets and sidewalks are not known as infection reservoirs for COVID-19 and it can be unsafe for human health to spray disinfectants, even outdoors. Researchers were highlighted significant adverse health effects, even deaths that may occur after the consumption of methanol-containing hand sanitiser. Burn injuries and death occurred due to unconscious handling of flammable hand sanitizer followed by lighting a cigarette. Due to having the enormous noxious effect of spraying disinfectants, it should be wise to wash hands, use face mask, and maintain personal distance rather than use disinfectants tunnels and air spray to prevent SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission among peoples.
