“…Few cleaning products contain caustic materials, and their accidental ingestion causes severe gastrointestinal toxicity (Arevalo-Silva et al 2006;Sawalha 2007). Bleach ingestion is reported to cause hypernatremia, hyperchloremia, ARDS, and lung injury (Bracco et al 2005). It has also been stated that exposure of chlorine bleach causes mucosal erosions, gastrointestinal irritation, ear, nose, and throat lesions, and asthma symptoms (Medina-Ram on et al 2005).…”

“…The mixing of bleach with ammonia-based cleaners causes the production of chloramines and possibly ammonia that can volatilize (Cohle et al 2001). On the other hand, when bleach was mixed with an acid-based cleaner, it could release gaseous chlorine or hypochlorous acid, which if inhaled, even in small amounts, may cause acute lung injury (Bracco et al 2005;NRC 2004). In addition, chlorine disinfectants could combine with nitrogen, forming chloramine or N-nitrosodimethylamine, which have been identified as carcinogens (NRC 2004).…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has created a significant threat to global health. It originated in Wuhan, China and caused a total of 83,483 confirmed cases and 4634 deaths until June 2020. This novel virus spread primarily through respiratory droplets and close contact. The person-to-person transmission by direct transmittance through cough, sneeze, droplet inhalation, and contact spreading from dry surfaces contaminated with secretions of nose, mouth, and eyes of an infected person has been proven about SARS-CoV-2 transmission. As disease progressed, a series of complications tends to develop, especially in critically ill and immunocompromised patients. Pathological studies showed representative features of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and implications on multiple organs as well. However, no specific antiviral drugs or vaccines are immediately available for the treatment of this lethal disease. The efficacy of some promising antivirals needs to be investigated by ongoing clinical trials. In current circumstances, supportive care, precautions, and social distancing are the only preventive options to ameliorate COVID-19. To disinfect the environment, mainly chemical disinfectants are being used robustly. However, due to panic state, fright, and unawareness, people are using it violently, which can have an adverse effect on human health and environment. This review discusses about the potential harmful effect of disinfectants, if used inappropriately. Here, we will also discuss safe preventive options as an alternative to robust use of disinfection methods to fight against COVID-19.

Corona illness 2019 (covid-19) has been occured by widspread serious lung condition due to infection with newly emerging Corona virus 2 during 2019. The infection threatened people health world-wide. Covid2-19 started in China and caused an aggregate of few affirmed cases and few of them passing till end of sixth month. Infection occurs essentially through lung droplets and infect near by people. Individual to-individual infection occur by conveyance by droplets from hack, wheeze, drop inward breath, and infection through upper dry epithelium polluted by emissions of complete respiratory tract system of a infected individual had been demonstrated about corona spread. As infection advanced, a progression of intricacies will in general grow, particularly in fundamentally sick and immunocompromised patients. Neurotic investigations demonstrated delegate highlights of intense lung misery condition (ARDS) and involvement of different organs too. Nonetheless, no particular antiviral medications or immunizations are promptly accessible to the medical care of this deadly infection. The adequacy of some encouraging antibacterial should be examined to continuous health preliminaries. In this conditions, strong consideration, safety measures, and physical distansing are the lone preventive measuresfor protection against CORONA. To sanitize the climate, fundamentally compound bactericidal are being utilized powerfully. Notwithstanding, because of frenzy state, fear, and ignorance, individuals are utilizing it fiercely, which can adversely affect human wellbeing and climate. This audit examines the likely negative impact of disinfectants, whenever utilized improperly. Here, we will likewise talk about safe preventive choices as an option in contrast to strong utilization of sterilization strategies to battle against CORONA.

“…5 The frequency of chlorine accidents and post-chlorine exposure management is of major public health concern. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In 2014, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that about 6,000 exposures to chlorine gas in the US in 2013, compared with 13,600 exposures to carbon monoxide, which was the most common poison gas exposure; the year before they reported about 5,500 cases of chlorine gas poisoning compared with around 14,300 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. 17 Chlorine gas was first used as a chemical weapon on a largescale during World War I in the Second Battle of Ypres and is considered a choking agent.…”

The Authors report an accidental gas exposure of Chlorine gas in a worker. This accident is very uncommon and can lead to important life-threatening conditions, such as Reactive Airway Disfunction Syndrome (RADS) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with important pulmonary disfunctions and even death. This syndrome results are reversible when a quick and appropriate intensive treatment is performed.
