Disinfectants and sanitizers are essential preventive agents against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic; however, the pandemic crisis was marred by undue hype, which led to the indiscriminate use of disinfectants and sanitizers. Despite demonstrating a beneficial role in the control and prevention of COVID-19, there are crucial concerns regarding the large-scale use of disinfectants and sanitizers, including the side effects on human and animal health along with harmful impacts exerted on the environment and ecological balance. This article discusses the roles of disinfectants and sanitizers in the control and prevention of the current pandemic and highlights updated disinfection techniques against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This article provides evidence of the deleterious effects of disinfectants and sanitizers exerted on humans, animals, and the environment as well as suggests mitigation strategies to reduce these effects. Additionally, potential technologies and approaches for the reduction of these effects and the development of safe, affordable, and effective disinfectants are discussed, particularly, eco-friendly technologies using nanotechnology and nanomedicine.
消毒剂和消毒剂是预防 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的重要手段；然而，大流行危机因过度炒作而变得复杂，导致消毒剂和消毒剂的滥用。尽管消毒剂和消毒剂在 COVID-19 的控制和预防中发挥了有益的作用，但大规模使用消毒剂和消毒剂存在一些关键问题，包括对人类和动物健康的副作用以及对环境和生态平衡的有害影响。本文讨论了消毒剂和消毒剂在当前大流行控制和预防中的作用，并强调了针对严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）的最新消毒技术。本文提供了消毒剂和消毒剂对人类、动物和环境的有害影响的证据，并提出了减少这些影响的缓解策略。此外，还讨论了减少这些影响和开发安全、经济实惠和有效的消毒剂的潜在技术和方法，特别是使用纳米技术和纳米医学的环保技术。
