Chemical germicides Many types of chemicals can be used as disinfectants and/or antiseptics. As there is an ever-increasing number and variety of commercial products, formulations must be carefully selected for specific needs

The germicidal activity of many chemicals is faster and better at higher temperatures At the same time, higher temperatures can accelerate their evaporation and also degrade them Particular care is needed in the use and storage of such chemicals in tropical regions, where their shelf-life may be reduced because of high ambient temperatures

Many germicides can be harmful to humans or the environment. They should be selected, stored, handled, used and disposed of with care, following manufacturers nstructions For personal safety, gloves, aprons and eye protection are recommended when preparing dilutions of chemical germicides

Chemical germicides are generally not required for regular cleaning of floors, walls, equipment and furniture. However, their use may be appropriate in certain cases of outbreak control

Proper use of chemical germicides will contribute to workplace safety while reducing the risk from infectious agents. As far as possible, the number of germicidal chemicals to be used should be limited for economic reasons,inventory control and to limit environmental pollution
