Abstract in brief
Ethyl and isopropyl alcohol have been long-standing disinfectants in healthcare, effective against various pathogens including viruses like Ebola and coronaviruses, especially in concentrations of 60-70%.
Alcohol-based products like prep pads are mainly used for quick disinfection of small items, but their rapid evaporation can limit effectiveness due to short contact times; sterile alcohol solutions are typically used in pharmacy settings for more critical tasks.
A new EPA-registered disinfectant formulation offers a 30-second contact time for multiple pathogens and has a low toxicity rating, and alcohol-based disinfectants are often combined with other agents like quaternary ammonium or phenolic compounds for broader surface disinfection in healthcare settings.]
