Analysis of Acidic Disinfectants

Viruses, bacteria and fungi are always microorganisms that threaten human health. Disinfection is the most robust way to protect against them. The purpose of the disinfection process is to reduce or eliminate the number and variety of dangerous microorganisms as much as possible. In areas such as workplaces, hospitals and schools where people are generally in bulk, compliance with hygiene rules is a necessity for human health. Hygiene prevents the growth of microorganisms and transmission to humans. Disinfectants are effective in spreading microorganisms and preventing their negative effects.

During cleaning, some of the microorganisms that are moved and released from their places spread with water to larger surfaces and start to reproduce in these new environments. Therefore, the disinfection process and the selection of suitable disinfectants are very important.

Disinfection is the process for destroying or stopping the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. The chemicals used for this purpose are called disinfectants.

Disinfectants based on their chemical structure are two groups as organic and inorganic. The effects of organic disinfectants increase in proportion to the number of carbon and hydrogen in their structures. The effects of inorganic disinfectants are related to how much they can ionize in water.

Acidic disinfectants fall into the group of inorganic compounds and contain chemical compounds such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and ammonia in various concentrations. It has lethal and destructive effects on microorganisms. However, the disinfectants to be used must have a wide antimicrobial area, should not be affected by organic substances and other chemicals, should not cause harm to human health, should not cause abrasion and deterioration on the applied surfaces and should have a permanent effect on the applied surface.

In the authorized laboratories, the analysis of acidic disinfectants within the scope of physical and chemical analyzes of disinfectants are carried out in accordance with standards and with reliable methods.
