Space disinfectant

The dichlorobenzenes are used as moth repellants, insecticides, miticides, fumigants, disinfectants, space and air deodorizers, to prevent breakup of stoneware and molding, for molding resins and surface coatings. They are also used as chemical intermediates, for example, in the manufacture of polyphenyl sulfide. These are available as mothballs, flakes, cake, crystals.

Consumer products require expensive magazine advertisements and television commercials. This can amount to 30% or 40% of the selling price. If a new laundry product is introduced, a large amount of money must be spent to convince supermarkets and/or mass distribution outlets to grant it shelf space. They must be convinced it will sell before they will put it on their shelves. They are only interested in items that will move. In 1968 Colgate introduced its new pre-soak, Axion . In the first 9 months it spent over 3,000,000 for advertisements alone- 640,000 for newspaper ads, 865,000 for network television, 886,000 for spot local radio commercials, 800,000 for spot local television commercials, and 199,000 for magazine ads.8 Airwick spent over 7,000,000 to introduce a new disinfectant-deodorant spray in 1973.7...

If you choose to swim now and throughout your pregnancy, try to find a less-chlorinated (or otherwise disinfected) private pool, an outdoor pool, a lake, or maybe even a saltwater pool. If your only option is an indoor pool, look for one in a space with windows that can be opened for ventilation. If not, try to find one in a building with very high ceilings. And avoid swimming daily. 

Pesticides may be periodically inttoduced into indoor air by direct application (e.g. insect sprays and bombs, disinfectant sprays and room deodorizers). In addition, there are often sources that continually emit vapors into the living space (e.g. continuous evaporation of residues from crack and crevice treatments and emissions from pest-control strips or other devices). Whether used inside the home or office, or outside on the lawn or garden, pesticides accumulate on indoor surfaces, especially in carpet dust, and also in upholstery and in or on children s toys (Lewis et al 1994b, 1999 Simcox et al., 1995 Nishioka et al 1996, 1999 Gurunathan et al., 1998). 

NLD 1992 The chemical is severely restricted, in 1981, the use of methyl bromide as a soil disinfectant was prohibited. Based on Article 16a ofthe Dutch Pesticide Law of 1962, an exemption could, however, be granted based on individual requests. In the following period of time, the policies of the Government aimed at a further decrease in the use of methyl bromide. In 1992 methyl bromide was completely banned for use as a soil disinfectant. In 1996, two space fumigation products on the basis of methyl bromide were extended until 1 December 2001.

As more restrictions on product preservatives have been set in the last 10 years, more instances of microbial contamination have appeared and liquid detergent process equipment and operations have approached those used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Process equipment is being installed to a more sanitary level, which means easier to clean and disinfect. Predominantly the equipment is designed for cleaning in place (CIP) without the need to disassemble. This chiefly means that surfaces are polished, circulation dead spaces are avoided, and drainage is virtually perfect. Usually the equipment is washed with alkaline and acid solutions, and then with a disinfectant solution. Additional equipment to handle and recirculate disinfectant solutions becomes part of the system design.

This is an area reserved for sterile operations. Workers should only enter through an air-lock or other suitable passage. All the wails, floors, and ceiling of the sterile room and gowning room should be easily cleaned and disinfected at regular, closely spaced intervals. 

Different live vaccines should be processed and filled separately from each other. Separation may be achieved in space or, given adequate cleaning and disinfection, in time. Special isolation facilities may be needed for highly contagious micro-organisms. 

There are a large number of chemicals which are able to kill micro-organisms in addition to antibiotics. Many of these are used on surfaces or skin and go under a variety of names. Chemicals used in the presence of dirt or dense bacterial populations are known as disinfectants. Antiseptics are used on the skin to reduce the bacterial population and thus the risk of infection. Sterilants are compounds used to sterilise enclosed spaces, whilst preservatives are compounds which stop bacteria attacking organic matter. These definitions form a spectrum and compounds frequently overlap from one group to the next.
