Tuesday, January 18, 2022, 12:00PM CST – 1:00PM CST

Disinfectants are incredibly important at mitigating and stopping the spread of myriad types of disease, and have become even more of a daily staple throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Three of the most commonly used disinfectants in general and specifically in school and healthcare settings are Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Phenol. In this webinar presentation Dr. Ziad Kazzi, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director of the International Toxicology Fellowship Program at Emory University, continues to provide an overview of disinfectants and more specifically focuses on the safe and appropriate usage of these three disinfectant compounds, as well as related exposure risks.
