Today's environmental and living conditions necessitate reconsideration of traditional cotton fabric bleaching processes. For this reason, it is very important for the environment economy to obtain higher whiteness values by using less water chemicals in bleaching. Sodium chlorite (NaClO2), source chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as most disinfectant, which gained popularity availability during COVID-19...

Triclosan (TCS) is used in many health care products as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and disinfectant agent; however, it currently considered an emerging pollutant. The present study aimed to develop analytical HPLC method coupled Diode Array Detector for the TCS determination toothpaste. Method development involved optimization of separation sample preparation. For chromatographic optimizati...

BACKGROUND/AIM Dimensional stability and accuracy of an impression after chemical disinfection by immersion in disinfectants are crucial for the accuracy of final prosthetic restorations. The aim of this study was to assess the deformation of addition and condensation silicone impressions after disinfection in antimicrobial solutions. METHODS A total of 120 impressions were made on the model ...

Human norovirus (NoV) is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses in the United States. Norovirus is shed in high numbers in the feces and vomitous of infected individuals. Contact surfaces contaminated with bodily fluids harboring infectious virus particles serve as vehicles for pathogen transmission. Environmental stability of NoV and its resistance to many conventional disinfectants necessit...

Humidifier disinfectant (HD) damage was terrible chemical damage caused by household goods that happened in only South Korea, but still very little is known in HD damage. Up to now, previous research tried to focus on interstitial fibrosis on terminal bronchioles and alveoli because it is a specific finding, compared with other diseases. To figure out whole effects from HDs, much epidemiologic ...

BACKGROUND Since its emergence in 2013, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly throughout the country due, in part, to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of an accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP) disinfectant for inactivating PEDV in swine feces on metal surfaces under freezing conditions. One 15.24 X 15.24 X 2.54 cm aluminum cou...

Background — The use of physical means as an aid for modern medicine in the champion against pathogenic microorganisms holds new approach that recently have begun to be widely recognized. The use of an additional physical means, alternating currents, introduced to inhibit bacterial growth and enhance disinfectant potency. The present study aimed to determine the best frequency of alternating cu...

Containers used in transporting live poultry between production and processing units are a primary source of contamination for processed poultry products. Because disinfection of transport containers (TC) has been difficult to accomplish, it is probable that the choice of appropriate disinfectant and its application are partially or wholly responsible for the failure to adequately eliminate pat...

We installed drinking water and handwashing stations in 17 rural schools and trained teachers to promote water treatment and hygiene to pupils. We gave schools flocculent-disinfectant powder and hypochlorite solution for water treatment. We conducted a baseline water handling survey of pupils' parents from 17 schools and tested stored water for chlorine. We trained teachers and students about h...

The effect of a phenolic disinfectant (o-phenylphenol 45% w/w) with linseed oil soap or with soya oil soap on Mycobacterium tuberculosis was determined by three methods. Neither the geometrical dilution test nor the modified capacity use-dilution test revealed any differences between the two disinfectants. However, paradoxically both methods proved that the highest concentration of the disinfec...
