Hypochloric acid is a strong oxidant, which can kill many kinds of bacteria and is often added to tap water for disinfection. In addition, hypochlorous acid can make dyes and organic colors fade, and can be used as bleaching agent, oxidant and deodorant. Under normal circumstances, if you wear protective masks, masks and gloves for disinfection, the harm to the human body can generally be ignored. Otherwise, if your skin is exposed to this product in large quantities, it may cause respiratory discomfort, skin burns and even serious allergic reactions.
A small amount will not have much impact on human health, but if exposed to a large amount of hypochlorous acid disinfectant, it may irritate human mucosa, which is corrosive to some extent, mainly showing that it may irritate respiratory tract, such as burning sensation of respiratory tract, and may also cause dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, contact with skin should be avoided during disinfection to avoid local redness and swelling. It should also be noted that the concentration of hypochlorous acid disinfectant in the market is 100-500ppm. If high-concentration hypochlorous acid disinfectant is used, it should be diluted with water to avoid high-concentration direct contact with the skin and burn the skin, which is harmful to health.
