snoop1130 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) is warning against the use of alcohol spray guns, as their tiny droplets are ineffective at disinfecting surfaces and such spraying could cause any pathogens present to spread more widely. Recommending the use of alcohol gel to wipe surfaces, instead of spray guns, Deputy Secretary-General of TFDA Dr. Supatra Boonserm, revealed that alcohol spray guns are currently in high demand, due to the continuing spread of COVID-19. She also explained that, if the alcohol droplets get into someone’s eyes or nose, they can lead to eye irritation, dizziness, nausea and breathing issues and they are very dangerous for young children.

Definitely the 'must have' item of the moment, replacing air fryers who were the undisputed champions of the first half of 2021 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky2008 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I personally use Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) tablets. When used in very small quantities diluted in water it's safe and does not lead to health risks. It effectively kills pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses.

What about the people spraying down wet markets after a positive detection, I guess that's different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While chlorine dioxide has “chlorine” in its name, its chemistry is radically different from that of chlorine. https://www.scotmas.com/chlorine-dioxide/why-is-clo2-different-to-chlorine.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guessed right. There's a difference between these ineffective, hand held sprays and the more "industrial" type of spraying/soaking seen at markets.

Okay. But this is still what is recommended to wipe down infectious surfaces, right? And the chlorine in swimming pools is too diluted to be effective in preventing infection?
