Design of a photocatalytic reactor (uv-a) for the study of the chemical degradation of 1,2- dihydroxybenzene and inactivation of e. coli in simulated water

For water disinfection, conventional methods have been applied with some drawbacks towards the formation of potentially dangerous disinfection products. Advanced oxidation processes such as photocatalysis are less expensive, using fluorescent ultraviolet light lamps. The intense oxidation and mineralization reactions of contaminants can be increased in the presence of molecular oxygen or H2O2, resulting in a highly efficient process due to the formation of reactive oxygen species, which leads to an efficient degradation of contaminants in an aqueous medium to form compounds or residues. with low toxicity. The photocatalytic remediation of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene and the inactivation of E. coli in simulated waters was carried out after the construction of a photocatalytic reactor with a 10W UV light source at 365 nm based on the LED light emitting diode - UV energetically. efficient due to direct light incidence and the reduction of electron-hole recombination that increases photonic efficiency. To carry out the degradation process of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, a three-level 3k factorial design was applied for the catalyst concentration (TiO2), pH level and H2O2 concentration, showing favorable results for acid pH and low amount of catalyst. . To evaluate the inactivation of E. coli, the bacterial growth curve of the ATCC 25922 strain was studied in Nutrient culture medium, using the UV-vis technique. Spectral scanning was performed from 200 to 800nm, obtaining the maximum absorption at 300nm and an exponential growth phase of 4 to 5 hours at 37°C and pH 7.0.

Biotechnological therapies and biosimilars for COVID-19: scarcities, poor regulation, and pharmaceutical black market: a case analysis in Ecuador

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ecuador was unprepared for the overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases. As the general population started to see the eff ects of the pandemic, unproven treatments and medications were sought by the population to try to ameliorate the impact of the pandemic. The growing demand for a cure, the fear of dying from COVID-19, and the lack of therapeutic rigour, pushed a signifi cant number of people to seek help outside the traditional healthcare system. Doctors, pharmacists, and patients started prescribing or selfmedicating pharmacological products that were later shown to be ineff ective, toxic or even contraindicated. In Ecuador, most people who developed the severe acute respiratory syndrome associated with infection by the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, which causes COVID-19, used antibiotics (azithromycin), antiparasitic medications (hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin), dangerous chemical products (chlorine dioxide) and in some cases, biological medicines, to try to cure or protect themselves from COVID-19. The growing demand for therapies that were unavailable, as well as the rise in misinformation, created the perfect scenario for the misuse of medicines and enabled the appearance of a rampant black market of unregistered biological products. In this manuscript, we describe the Ecuadorian experience in relation to the off -label use of biological and biosimilar products during the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of the pharmaceutical black market, and the lack of national regulations to avoid dangerous practices. To the best of our knowledge this is the fi rst report that has aimed to describe the unapproved and even illegal sale and use of biologicals, biosimilars and related products, with or without approved therapeutic indications in the treatment of COVID-19.

The WHO FCTC’s lessons for addressing the commercial determinants of health

SummaryThe tobacco, alcohol, beverage, processed food, firearms, gambling, fossil fuel and mining industries, inter alia, are implicated in fostering negative commercial determinants of health. They do this by shaping our environments, tastes, knowledge and politics in favour of the unlimited consumption and unencumbered promotion of their deadly and dangerous products. To shift the determinants of health, emphasis should be put on preventing industry actors whose profit lies in harming health from wielding influence over the institutions and actors of global and national governance. The tobacco control experience and the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) provide a unique, comprehensive and fully substantiated guide for how this may be done. Just as the tobacco industry was a pathfinder for other harmful industries in developing tactics for expanding the depth and reach of the market for their deadly products, the WHO FCTC experience is the obvious pathfinder for countering the commercial determinants of health across all sectors and industries. Although they are desirable for countering negative commercial determinants of health, the WHO FCTC’s lesson is not that commercially driven epidemics must be tackled with legally binding treaties. Rather, given the challenges to treaty-making, the key lessons are those that show how it is possible to address the harms of other commodities, even in a treaty’s absence. What is needed is the national implementation of measures providing for intersectoral governance and protection from industry interference which will then assist in unlocking measures for reducing the supply of and demand for unhealthy commodities.

Роль митної системи у забезпеченні конкурентоспроможності ЄС в умовах сталого розвитку

At the present stage, there is a problem of ensuring the sustainable development at all levels. The United Nations has declared 17 Global Goals that must be realized by subjects of mega-, macro-, meso- and microlevels, including customs authorities. In the context of European integration, an important task for Ukraine is to increase competitiveness following the example of successful European states. At the same time, the competitiveness of the country is a multifaceted and multidimensional concept that is influenced by numerous environmental factors. At the present stage, one of the key determinants of the state's competitiveness is its sustainable development. Today, the concept of sustainable development is a new challenge for national customs systems, that’s why it is appeared the need to justify their role in achieving the Global Goals to increase the country's competitiveness. The Sustainable Development Goals exist immanently in the basic functions performed by the customs authorities. After all, the service function of customs bodies is aimed at simplifying customs and trade procedures for law-abiding business in order to intensify international trade as a basis for economic growth. The security and control function of the customs system provides for the protection of the state and its citizens from dangerous and low-quality products that pose a threat to human health and life. The fiscal function of customs authorities is aimed at filling the state budget with customs payments in order to finance the priority areas of the country's development. Achieving the Global Goals is made possible through the use of a variety of customs documents and tools that need to be improved towards sustainable development. Thus, customs authorities are involved in overcoming poverty and hunger in the world by intensifying global trade flows, which, accordingly, provides additional opportunities for employment and filling the state budget with taxes. In this context, it is a matter of assisting the customs authorities to achieve the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 16th and 17th Sustainable Development Goals. In modern conditions, international trade plays a significant role in shaping a stable economy and the welfare of society. In this context, customs authorities contribute to the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th and 17th Global Goals by reducing trade barriers to form inclusive societies. Customs are also involved in protecting the planet and ensuring its stability for future generations, while contributing to the achievement of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th Global Goals.

The tobacco industry’s tort reform campaign to avoid liability in Louisiana

We analyze the tobacco industry’s “tort reform” campaign in Louisiana, which marked its first takeover of a state tort reform coalition, and interpret the strategies using the Policy Dystopia Model. We searched internal tobacco industry documents in the UCSF Truth Tobacco Industry Documents Library and searched news archives of state and local periodicals between 1985 and 2000. Using alliances, the tobacco industry clandestinely secured legislation in 1988 limiting manufacturer liability for inherently dangerous products. The industry took over a coalition in 1992 to defend its gains, minimize its publicly visible role, and pursue policies it likely could not directly advocate for after Louisiana’s government became more hostile to tort reform. The industry defended gains but failed to secure legislation eliminating liability for inherently dangerous products after its involvement was exposed. This case study expands the applicability of the Policy Dystopia Model. The industry passes laws harmful to the public interest by cloaking its involvement and motivations behind allies, front groups and generalized messaging. Exposing the industry’s role can help public health advocates protect against pro-industry legislation.

Uncalculated first‐party externalities given a beverage tax

AbstractObjectiveWith many characterizingobesity as a national priority, the U.S. Government is considering a 1, 2, or 3 cents‐per‐ounce (cpo) federal sin tax on soda products. Because prior research finds that consumers substitute equally, if not more, dangerous nicotine products with a tobacco sin tax and common alcohol‐like household goods with alcohol prohibition, this research sets out to determine whether the imposition of a soda sin tax produces similar first‐party externalities.MethodAdaptive conjoint analysis is utilized among respondents across several regions of the United States, including actual soda consumers.ResultsThis study finds that given a soda sin tax, soda consumers do not substitute healthier beverages, that is, beverages with relatively fewer calories and grams of sugar and sodium, such as water, pure fruit juice, or unsweetened tea. Instead, soda consumers switch to other sugary beverages not considered in most legislation, such as sweetened coffees, teas, or sports drinks, or continue consuming soda at tax rates of 2 and 3 cpo after the shock of a 1 cent tax wears off.ConclusionUnlike prior research examining decreased soda consumption across a general marketplace, this research offers insight into potential externalities among the key transacting actors in such an exchange: soda consumers.

Traceability to ensure food safety and consumer protection as typified by case studies of three meat processing plants

Ensuring food safety is a legal obligation of the manufacturer or of the entity that places the product on sale. Traceability is one of the tools that are used to ensure food safety. It allows the withdrawal of a dangerous or non-compliant product from the market and determines the source of a threat. The aim of the study was to compare the functioning and effectiveness of traceability systems in selected approved meat industry plants. The system functioning in a large meat processing plant, in which the circulation of documents was implemented in a computer system, was compared with two smaller ones, in which paper documentation was carried out, but supported by a computer system. In these plants, the traceability system was based on internal procedures. Properly developed traceability procedures and simulations support and enable response in a crisis. Computer systems streamline and facilitate the traceability process. However, the comparative analysis showed that the use of paper records allowed for efficient identification of the source of the threat. The possibility of performing product traceability was confirmed in these plants. Internal markings and codes and documentation flow, staff training, and awareness proved helpful.

Liability for Damages Caused by COVID-19 Vaccination

Purpose: The article discusses the problem of liability for damages relating to optional COVID-19 vaccinations conducted in Poland. The author investigates instances of liability tied to particular entities involved in the vaccination process. First, the liability of the State Treasury based on Government officials promoting the vaccinations in the media. Second, liability of the Material Reserve Agency (now the Governmental Strategic Reserve Agency) for purchasing vaccines as aiding a tort. Third, that same agency held liable - as the importer - under product liability. Fourth, the National Health Fund, liable as the direct organizer of the vaccination. Fifth, the vaccine manufacturer in the context of dangerous product liability. Sixth, the treatment provider liable for the conduct of its personnel. Seventh, the European Union in its capacity as an importer of vaccines, for aiding a harmful effect on one’s health, but also for causing damage legally (in two alternative options). The study examines the possible implications of damages for mass vaccination against COVID-19, conducted in Poland from December 2020. Design/Methodology/Approach: The author applies a dogmatic method, examining potential liability due to the different categories of debtors involved in the organization and execution of the vaccination. Findings: Vaccination liability in tort is possible in the situations identified in the article. The main difficulty lies in the necessity of proving at least a condition sine qua non-type of causal connection between vaccination and bodily injury or a deterioration of health. Under this condition, liability may arise on the part of the National Health Fund, but also on the part of the vaccine manufacturer and the European Union. Practical Implications: The conclusions can be used in lawsuits in the event of vaccine-induced harm. Originality/Value: The issue of tort liability for vaccination that is not obligatory but organized by the State has not been extensively studied in the Polish legislation.

Our Right to Share, Their Right to Know: An Analysis of Public Interest Defense to Defamation

The defamation reports have increased and shifted under online-based technology through social media. This study considered the defamation issue in Indonesia that alleged Richard Lee, a doctor who shared a beneficial publication through social media about the dangerous skincare product. Richard's audience believed that his content helped them know the hidden truth behind skincare products available in the market. Consequently, the public questioned whether he was liable because he was regarded to share helpful information under the public interest. This study aimed to analyze Indonesia’s defamation laws, especially in public interest defense under Article 310(3) of the Indonesian Criminal Code. However, the interpretation for public interest as a crime abolition is unclear, resulting in various courts' decisions that lead to criminalizing internet users. This study used legal research with statutory and comparative approaches. It examined legal norms and practices in Indonesia and compared those in the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. These three countries adapted defamation law to develop cases, including those alleged defamations for the public interest. While the freedom of expression is enshrined in the constitution, its practice has contradicted defamation provisions outlined in derivative regulations. By comparison, these three countries have precise boundaries and public interest defense is explicit. Those countries have specific rules and lists that needed to be fulfilled for those who use public interest defense. The lists based on previous precedents show how they learn and adapt to the development of public interest defense in many cases. This study concluded that Indonesia does not have specific standards or rules to determine cases categorized as the public interest.
 KEYWORDS: Public Interest Defense, Online Defamation, Freedom of Expression.

Aspekty medyczno-prawne dotyczące żywienia w kontekście bezpieczeństwa ekologicznego żywności

They know better all the features and risks of their business, and therefore they must be responsible for their safety. Implementation of the main elements of the new food safety control system in Ukraine takes place through the implementation of a permanent procedure based on the HACCP principles [1−3]. Now, entrepreneurs must identify potential hazards and risks of the production process and capacities, as well as take all necessary measures to minimize them. Together with greater responsibility the entrepreneurs receive more freedom. For example, the state cannot require the factory to have light walls above 1.8m. The quality is a subjective and personal concept, and safety requirements must prevent the harmful effects of products on the health of the consumer. At the same time, Ukrainians need to know what they are consuming. Therefore, lawmakers are currently working on a draft law on providing information to consumers about food. The new system to which Ukraine passes allows a clear distinction to be drawn between liabilities for causing harm due to the consumption of a dangerous product. According to the concept of the food chain «from the lawn to the table», the quality of the product must be baked at each stage of the commodity circulation, and each businessman is responsible for the safety of the food within its activities: the manufacturer − within the limits of production, the carrier − within the scope of transportation, the store − within storage and sale. Consequently, at each point of the food chain, the entrepreneur knows where the raw material or product came from and where it comes next. If the customer receives a health hazard product, this system helps to identify: who is responsible for causing harm. In this chain, there should be feed for productive animals. The draft law «On Safety and Hygiene of Forms» has already been developed and registered. If the feed contains harmful substances, they will continue to enter our body through products made from animal meat.

Effect of Infodemic Regarding the Illegal Sale of Medications on the Internet: Evaluation of Demand and Online Availability of Ivermectin during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related infodemic generated confusion and increased demand of various pharmaceuticals, ushering in the opportunity for illicit online vendors to fill a gap in the marketplace using potentially dangerous products. The aim of our study is to provide evidence regarding increased demand, online availability and consumer accessibility of ivermectin, an anthelmintic agent, without substantiated indications in reference to SARS-CoV-2. In our study, we combined infodemiology methodology aligned with search engine result assessment and website analytics to evaluate patient safety risks. Users’ Google queries regarding ivermectin were trending and peaked during the last week of November 2020 and March 2021. Consumers more likely found links leading directly or indirectly (via redirection) to illegal online retailers representing nearly half (53.3%) of search engine result links regarding the first three result pages in December 2020 and topped off at 73.3% by March 2021. Illicit medicine retailers outnumbered and outranked their legitimate counterparts and dominated the first search engine results page. A vast majority (77.7%) of the identified online pharmacies were characteristically rogue; more than half (55.5%) offered prescription-only products without a valid medical prescription. Our results illustrate connection between infodemic and its consequences on the illicit online pharmacy market

Controls at the starting point for preventing accidents in the road transport of dangerous products / Controles no ponto de partida para prevenção de acidentes no transporte rodoviário de produtos perigosos

This article discusses activities related to the prevention of road accidents with dangerous products that precede trips by tank truck drivers. The Brazilian normative framework (laws, decrees, and norms), the Haddon Matrix as a systemic prevention model, and the premises of the Olho Vivo nas Estradas Program of the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association constitute the conceptual bases of the research. The empirical approach consists of semi-structured interviews with drivers of a fuel distributor who travel along the BR-116. The results indicate that the company has training practices and disclosure of recent accidents. The workgroup dominates the normative knowledge and preventive procedures, being the main concern of the interviewees with the carelessness practiced by drivers who travel the roads in all types of vehicles (trucks, automobiles, motorcycles).

STAGES OF EXPERTISE OF EXTERNAL APPEARANCE OF VETERINARY PRODUCTS

The long moratorium on state control (supervision) over the activities of business entities has led to an increase in the volume of unregistered, low-quality, counterfeit and counterfeit veterinary products on the Ukrainian market. Violations by manufacturers regarding the entry into circulation of dangerous products are also due to the long absence of licensing of production and sale of products for veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. In these circumstances, there are numerous complaints from consumers about the low quality and safety of veterinary drugs, feeds, feed additives and premixes. The article covers the issues of examination of product appearance, labeling, primary (group) and secondary (transport) packaging, which is carried out in order to establish the conformity of manufactured products to the requirements declared in the regulatory documentation, which will identify dangerous products on the domestic market. In carrying out the examination of veterinary goods presented by consumers and other enterprises or institutions, the general procedure for its conduct shall be established. They check the completeness of the sent materials and check their availability with the corresponding list in the cover letter, open the sealed samples by commission and find out whether the veterinary drug has been registered in Ukraine. Then the data presented in the materials are compared with the registration materials and normative documentation, and a protocol of product inspection for compliance with the requirements declared in the dossier, registration certificates, technical conditions, quality certificates, etc. is drawn up. Examination of the appearance of the label is carried out visually, comparing with the original or with the materials of the relevant registration dossier. Check the correct labeling and packaging of products, and it is important to pay attention to the statement of the summary product of characteristics.
 As a result of the procedures for assessing the correctness and reliability of the appearance of veterinary products in accordance with the original sample, registration dossier and regulatory documentation, a conclusion is issued, which provides a detailed description of the research and the conclusions drawn from their results.

Effects of %FIMA on Storage-Safety Parameters of Spent Fuel from Experimental Pebble-Bed Reactor

The back end of the utilization of nuclear technology is safety and management of spent fuel, which is a key element contributing to the success of the nuclear power plant program. Indonesia’s National Nuclear Energy Agency resolved to establish an experimental power reactor, called RDE, as a nuclear power plant demo. The fuel of this reactor is similar to that of German’s experimental pebble-bed reactor (PBR), Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchsreaktor(AVR). In this study, the spent fuel of AVR was studied to obtain the safety parameter data for storage of RDE spent fuel by varying the fission in the initial metallic atoms (%FIMA). These parameters that must be studied include the radioactivity, decay heat, proliferation threats of both 239Pu and 235U, and the presence of 137Cs, a dangerous fission product that can escape from damaged spent fuels. The calculation was conducted by ORIGEN 2.1. The result of the study demonstrates a higher %FIMA indicates a higher safety level that is required since the activity and decay heat of the spent fuel will increase and, as will be the total amounts of 239Pu and 137Cs. However, the 235U amount will decrease. For a 100 years storage of spent fuel, the optimum %FIMA is 8.2 with a canister capacity of 1,900 pebbles. Further, the activity and decay heat of the spent nuclear fuel are 2.013 × 1013 Bq and 6.065 W, respectively. The activities of 239Pu, 137Cs, and 235U are 5.187 ×1011, 7.100 × 1012, and 7.339 × 107 Bq, respectively.

Distributed vs. Hybrid Control Architecture Using STPA and AHP - Application to an Autonomous Mobile Multi-robot System

Systems composed of a fleet of autonomous mobile robots are among the most complex control systems. This control complexity is at a high level especially when those robots navigate in hazardous and dynamic environments such as chemical analysis laboratories. These systems include different dangerous and harmful products (toxic, flammable, explosive...) with different quantity. In order to perform its mission on a regular basis, this multi-robot system can be controlled according to multiple architectures. We propose, firstly, to apply the System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) on two selected control architectures, namely distributed and hybrid architectures in order to obtain a set of loss scenarios for each kind of architecture. For further assessment, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to choose the best architecture. The proposed approach provides a risk analysis and a more practical comparison between the two control architectures of a mobile multi-robot system and facilitates decision-making, even in complex situations.

Dietary Supplement Use in US Army Personnel: A Mixed-Methods, Survey and Focus-Group Study Examining Decision Making and Factors Associated With Use

BackgroundDietary supplement (DS) use by Army personnel is high and is a safety and readiness issue. ObjectiveOur aim was to examine factors motivating use of DSs among US Army personnel and preferred safety education strategies. DesignThis mixed-method study used a validated DS questionnaire and subsequent focus groups that were formed based on questionnaire-identified demographic characteristics. An embedded qualitative dominant design was used. Participants/settingData were collected from April to July 2015 from active duty soldiers at 3 military installations in the United States. Main outcome measuresA self-report questionnaire (n = 289) provided data on demographic characteristics, health, exercise, detailed use, and attitudes regarding DS safety and efficacy. Fourteen focus-group sessions (n = 129) examined factors motivating DS use, education strategies, and identified themes and DS-related behaviors. Statistical analysis performedDescriptive statistics and χ2 analyses were conducted. ResultsOf the soldiers who completed questionnaires, 83% were male, 60% were enlisted, and 40% were officers; mean age ± standard deviation was 27.6 ± 0.36 years and 75% used at least 1 type of DS per week: 52% used protein/amino acids, 47% used multivitamins/minerals, and 35% used a combination of products. Focus groups indicated reasons for use included physical appearance, fitness, peer endorsement, ease of access, limited availability of healthy food, occupational demands, and health. Participants requested education from an expert on safe use that was not focused on dangerous products. ConclusionsSoldiers are high DS users, especially products marked for purported performance enhancement. Motivating factors for DS use are fitness/appearance and occupational demands, but soldiers lack knowledge of DS regulatory requirements and safety/efficacy. Soldiers wished to receive education on DSs from trusted health care professionals, such as registered dietitian nutritionists, that was not focused on dangerous products. Study findings suggest guidance and education should occur before periods of high DS use, such as deployment.

Methodology of teaching of design – creative manifestos

This article discusses the main manifestos of designers and theorists of the world, setting new trends in the methodology of education. The materials published in the 70s of the last century, which have not lost their relevance today, as well as modern materials in the field of design theory published in different countries of the world, are studied. The analysis of these sources allowed us to identify two groups of conditions and requirements for the new methodology of teaching design, the need for the formation of modern project thinking. One of them focuses the system on the idea of serving not advertising and industry that produces similar and even dangerous products, but something more valuable, durable and unique. As well as participation in solving important global problems. Another group forms the criteria for the nature of the educational process itself. It puts before us the need to choose methods of continuous, active education, integrate it into everyday life, saturate it with various creative technologies, points out the advantages of working in a team and calls for a constant rethinking of the past experience, both of all mankind and of an individual artist-designer. A methodology based on such requirements is being developed and used in the modern world. All this speaks of changes in the teaching of design, the creation of certain pedagogical conditions that play an important role in the development of design around the world.

Children’s poisoning profile during the Covid-19 pandemic – Experience of Hassan II University Hospital in Fez, MOROCCO

Introduction. —The Covid-19 pandemic and the containment situation, has generated enormous risks for children. Indeed, with the closure of schools, children, forced to stay at home, found themselves in permanent contact with dangerous products (drugs, disinfectants, plants) exposing them to accidental poisoning. Objective. —To describe the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary aspects of the cases of pediatric intoxications in the UHC during the period of Covid-19, in order to assess the repercussions of this pandemic on the profile of these intoxications, in terms of number and incriminated products. Material and method. — This is a retrospective descriptive comparative study of intoxication cases admitted to the pediatric emergency department of the University Hospital of Fez spread over 2 years; from March 1, 2019 to February 2021; comparing intoxications admitted during the period of Covid-19 with the previous year. Results. — The emergency department recorded 132 cases of intoxication during the Covid-19 period (compared to 104 cases in 2019). Fez was always the most concerned city (66.21% against 69.02% in 2019). The cases emanated from the urban environment in (58.78%). The accidental circumstance was the most frequent, with an increase from 77.88% in 2019 to 82.02%. The rate of cases of envenomation that consulted was almost similar; children are more exposed to scorpion stings (73.52%) than snake bites. The analysis of incriminated products was marked by the increase of Caustics (20.38% in 2019 to 24.24% in 2020), and the decrease of pesticides (19.41% in 2019 to 13.63%). The symptomatology was dominated by neurological signs in 25.75% of cases, followed by respiratory disorders (18.18%). The evolution was favorable in 95.46%, and death occurred in 4.54% of cases compared to 3.84% in2019. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the use of antidotes.

Effect of the Anolyte ANK-SUPER detergent agent on the vegetative microflora

Nowadays the provision of the safety of food products for human health, including of animal origin, is extremely important in the world. Since 2007, the Russian Federation has been monitoring the safety of food and feed in order to protect public health, assess the veterinary safety of imported and domestic food raw materials, products of its processing and feed, as well as to develop measures to prevent the entry of dangerous veterinary products into the market in relation to products of animal origin and feed. One of the main factors in production of high sanitary quality is compliance with the high sanitary level of their production, storage and sale. In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of disinfectants. They must meet the following requirement and have such properties as a wide range of disinfecting action; detergency property and minimal corrosiveness. In addition they must effectively destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and spore, be safe for humans, animals and the environment and be as simple as possible in use and relatively inexpensive. In Russia, the use of more than 400 chemicals of domestic and foreign production is allowed and their number is constantly growing. The agents used for disinfection, such as formaldehyde, QAC, aldehydes, etc., are highly volatile, toxic and environmentally unfriendly. The development of new disinfectants is mainly connected with the creation of new compositions of chemical agents, which increases their cost.
