Comparison of effectiveness and safety between Object sterilization and disinfection water gun and other sterilization methods

1. Comparison of disinfection effects
Object sterilization and disinfection water gun: The disinfection water gun sprays hypochlorous acid water or sodium hypochlorite water and uses the powerful oxidation of these disinfectants to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. Hypochlorous acid water is an efficient and fast disinfectant. It has a significant killing effect on bacteria and viruses, and can completely eliminate microorganisms on the target surface in a short time. Its advantage is that it can quickly penetrate and come into contact with microorganisms, thus ensuring better sterilization effect.

Ultraviolet Disinfection: Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is a common physical disinfection method. Ultraviolet rays achieve a sterilizing effect by destroying the DNA or RNA of microorganisms and preventing their reproduction. However, the effective range of ultraviolet rays is limited, especially where the surface is uneven or shaded, the penetration of ultraviolet rays will be greatly reduced. In addition, the disinfection effect of ultraviolet rays will also be affected by time, distance and light source intensity, so special attention needs to be paid when using it.

High-temperature steam sterilization: High-temperature steam sterilization kills bacteria and viruses through the action of high-temperature water vapor. This method has a better killing effect on stronger microorganisms (such as bacterial spores). However, the use of high-temperature steam can easily cause high-temperature burns, and the disinfection process may cause damage to certain materials (such as plastics, electronic equipment, etc.). In addition, the operation of steam sterilization requires professional equipment and a long time, and has high requirements on ambient temperature and humidity.

Chemical Disinfection: Chemical disinfection typically uses a disinfectant solution, spray, or wipe to disinfect surfaces. Although chemical disinfectants are very effective in killing bacteria, they also have some problems. For example, the chemical components in some disinfectants may be irritating to the skin and respiratory tract, and long-term exposure may have adverse effects on human health. There are also big differences in the bactericidal effect and safety of different disinfectants. When using them, you need to choose the appropriate product according to the specific situation.

2. Security comparison
Object sterilization and disinfection water gun: When the disinfection water gun is used, the concentration and spray volume of the disinfectant can be precisely controlled, and the operation is simple and safe. Hypochlorous acid water is safe for humans at appropriate concentrations and environmentally friendly, leaving no harmful residues. However, it may still cause irritation if it accidentally comes into contact with eyes or skin during use, so wearing appropriate protective glasses, gloves and a face shield is necessary.

Ultraviolet disinfection: The safety of ultraviolet disinfection is relatively low, especially long-term exposure to ultraviolet light may cause damage to the skin and eyes. Therefore, when using ultraviolet disinfection equipment, operating procedures must be strictly followed and direct contact with ultraviolet light sources must be avoided. In addition, ultraviolet disinfection cannot directly contact the surface of objects, so its effect is limited in certain scenarios.

High-temperature steam sterilization: Although high-temperature steam sterilization has a significant sterilization effect, there are certain risks in its safety because it requires high-temperature water vapor. Improper operation may cause burns or equipment damage, and high temperatures can cause greater damage to some materials. Therefore, caution is required when using high-temperature steam for disinfection to ensure that operators wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid high-temperature burns.

Chemical disinfection: Although chemical disinfectants can effectively kill bacteria, some powerful chemical ingredients (such as bleach, chlorine-containing disinfectants, etc.) may cause irritation to the human body and even cause allergic reactions. In addition, chemical disinfectant residues on surfaces may pose a potential threat to health. Therefore, when using chemical disinfectants, special attention must be paid to their concentration, method of use, and whether thorough cleaning is required after disinfection.
