Is it necessary to maintain air circulation when using a sodium hypochlorite spray gun for air disinfection?

Maintaining air circulation is crucial when using sodium hypochlorite spray guns for air disinfection. Here are several detailed reasons and suggestions:

1. Avoid the accumulation of high concentration disinfectants
Reason: The high concentration of sodium hypochlorite in the air may have certain effects on human health, such as irritating the respiratory tract, eyes, etc.
Suggestion: Maintaining air circulation helps to dilute the concentration of disinfectants in the air in a timely manner, reducing the irritation or harm of disinfectants to personnel in the air.

2. Ensure even distribution
Reason: If the indoor air is not well ventilated, the disinfectant mist may concentrate in a certain area, resulting in uneven disinfection effect.
Suggestion: Air circulation can help the disinfectant mist spread to every corner of the room, improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of disinfection.

3. Accelerate the evaporation of disinfectants
Reason: Air circulation helps to evaporate and decompose disinfectant aerosols, avoiding prolonged retention of disinfectants in the air and reducing their impact on the environment and human health.

Suggestion: Through ventilation, disinfectants can evaporate faster and restore fresh indoor air.
4. Prevent excessive accumulation of water vapor in the air
Reason: The atomized sodium hypochlorite solution contains moisture, and if not discharged for a long time, it may cause high air humidity and affect the indoor environment.
Suggestion: Opening windows or using an air circulation system can help regulate air humidity and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

5. Reduce the risk of gas accumulation
Reason: Disinfectant gas that stays in a confined space for a long time may cause discomfort, such as headaches, nausea, etc.
Suggestion: Maintaining air circulation can help eliminate these potential risks and ensure a healthy and safe indoor environment.

6. Improve disinfection effectiveness
Reason: Good air circulation can accelerate the contact of particles and pathogens in the air with disinfectants, thereby achieving disinfection effects faster.
Suggestion: Combined with ventilation, it helps to cover bacteria and viruses suspended in the air more comprehensively with disinfectant mist.

7. Improve operational safety
Reason: During air disinfection, if the air is not well circulated, it may increase the concentration exposure of disinfectants to operators.
Suggestion: A well ventilated environment helps ensure the safety of operators and reduce contact with high concentration disinfectant gases.
