Disinfecting means

Disinfecting means    

Chemical solutions used to eliminate infectious agents to humans and animals. Requirements to disinfecting means:

- low toxicity;
- high solubility in water;
- high activity in low concentration;
- high speed and wide range of action;
- lack of negative influence on treated surfaces;
- stability when stored;
- easy for transportation.


  • Disinfecting means are usually used as water solutions or powders, rarely as aeriform (when relativity humidity in the air is high). Halogen-based disinfecting means are widely used on practice. Effectiveness of these means can be strengthened by activation of their solutions with salts (chloride, sulfate, nitrate) of ammonium in 1:1 or 1:2 proportion or else NH3 (1:8, 1:10, 1:16). This allows reduce concentration of disinfecting means and duration of object treatment.

 

Types of disinfection

There are three major types of disinfection treatment and also other kinds of fighting infectious contaminants as preventive measures.

Major types include:

  • - mechanical disinfecting means (vacuum cleaning, use of ventilation, tapping, surface wash). Used to significally reduce concentration of bacteria at treated object;

  • - physical disinfecting means (fire treatment, dry hot steam treatment, high temperature treatment, UV-rays treatment). Used to significantly reduce or totally eliminate population of disease organisms;

  • - chemical disinfecting means (widely spread and commonly used tool in fight for purity of facilities). The effectiveness of chemical disinfectants is proved by using in public places, industrial facilities and indoors.
