Introduction
84 disinfectant can be used to disinfect the influenza A virus, but attention should be paid to its method and concentration of use, and its disinfection effect is limited. It is usually only suitable for indoor disinfection and disinfection of surfaces that have been in contact with the virus. The main transmission route of the influenza A virus is through droplets; therefore, although 84 disinfectant can disinfect contaminated surfaces, it cannot completely prevent the spread of the virus.
84 disinfectant can be used to disinfect the influenza A virus, but attention should be paid to the method and concentration of use, and its disinfecting effect is limited. It is usually only suitable for indoor disinfection and disinfection of contaminated objects. The analysis is as follows:
The main ingredient of 84 disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which has strong oxidizing properties. This oxidizing property can decompose substances such as proteins and nucleic acids, thereby inactivating viruses. Typically, the concentration of 84 disinfectant is about 5%, which means one part of 84 disinfectant mixed with 49 parts water. Different concentrations should be selected depending on the level of contamination. To inactivate the influenza A virus, fabrics or objects can be soaked in 84 disinfectant for more than 30 minutes.
The main transmission route of the influenza A virus is droplet transmission; therefore, although 84 disinfectant can disinfect contaminated objects, it cannot completely prevent the spread of the virus. After being infected with influenza A, patients should receive timely treatment and use medication under the guidance of a doctor to control the condition.
84 disinfectant has certain irritant effects on the skin and respiratory tract, so protective measures such as wearing masks and gloves should be taken during use. 84 disinfectant should not be mixed with acidic cleaning agents such as toilet bowl cleaner, as this may produce toxic chlorine gas. When using 84 disinfectant, ensure good ventilation to avoid harm to the human body.
