Integrated Chemists of the Philippines

Official Statement of the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines-X/XII/BARMM/CARAGA Chapters regarding the use of bleach or sodium hypochlorite as disinfectant solution for disinfectant booth/tent/cabin.


The Integrated Chemists of the Philippines (ICP) cautiously reminds the public NOT to use bleach/chlorine/hypochlorite as disinfectant solution for disinfectant booths/tents/cabins. These chemicals can irritate the skin, mucous membranes (eyes, nose) and airways.
We strongly discourage the use of these chemicals for your own safety and protection. Seek experts for help.


Here are some alternative solutions for disinfectant-spraying booths:

1. Hypochlorous acid-based disinfectants like GERMISEP tablets
2. Ionized saline solution (Anolyte)
3. Dry steam


These alternatives are safer and more efficient than bleach solutions.
