Disease specialists are criticizing the mast spraying of disinfectant in the fight against the virus footage of merged on sunday of a group in india being washed down by men in protective suits now the videos cause widespread anger on the local administrators apologized saying no one was hurt well in indonesia a special chambers have been set up to give people a quick blast with chemicals to get rid of potential germs on their clothes and skin drones and fire trucks also being used however some experts say mass disinfecting is a Health Hazard and thats more targeted cleaning would be a better use of resources dr jason wang is the director of the center for policy outcomes and prevention at Stanford University in the u. S. And he says the use of disinfectant sprays helps people psychologically but has no real benefit i think that method spread or. Probably would cause more harm. Than good to the population are one of the things that we know about this chemical is that it gets through the skin because patients get the birth of slow down the furry both in the lung and they could in some cases. And some of the cases also show that they could affect the eyes and so i think its probably more psychological than actual benefit to the population now if one were to use this chemical maybe in a more targeted area where you avoid that route for example in become payment maybe in the hospital where people could be putting the i think that makes more sense than a massive spread in in the population and finally able to combine their personal hygiene or and so were not teaching people to wash their hands and the boy patching things in their eyes is probably more effective than a massive spread of chemical.
