Biocides are chemical or biological substances used to control microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.). They are often used as disinfectants, antiseptics, insecticides and in agricultural, industrial or personal care products for protection. However, the effects of biocides on the skin and respiratory system should be carefully studied.
Biocides are often in contact with the skin and their effects on the skin are diverse. When applied to the skin, biocides may cause various reactions:
Irritation and Allergic Reactions: Skin irritation can be discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching and burning caused by direct contact of biocidal products on the skin. Allergic reactions are when some biocides can cause allergic contact dermatitis on the skin. Such reactions usually occur as a result of prolonged or excessive exposure.
Chemical Burns and Skin Damage: Some biocides, especially strong acidic or alkaline compounds, can cause chemical burns. This can lead to destruction of skin cells and can take a long time to heal.
Inhalation exposure to biocides, especially in aerosol or vapor form, can cause various health problems:
Respiratory Irritation: Biocides inhaled in aerosol or vapor form can cause irritation of the nose, throat and lungs. This can be manifested by symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and runny nose.
Allergic Respiratory Reactions: Some biocides can cause respiratory allergies such as allergic asthma and rhinitis. This is more pronounced in people who are sensitive to biocidal products and can develop with repeated exposure.
Acute and Chronic Toxicity: This is the immediate damage caused by direct exposure of biocides to the respiratory tract. Long-term exposure can lead to chronic respiratory diseases.
