Cleaning without harming
Everyday Preventive Actions That
Can Help Fight Germs ,Like Flu
Cleaning removes germs, dirt, and impurities
from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using
soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove
germs from surfaces. This process does not
necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it
lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading
infection.
• WASHINGTON — After more than 40 years of study, the
U.S. government said Monday it has no evidence that
the antibacterial chemicals used in countless common
soaps and washes help prevent the spread of germs,
and it is reviewing research suggesting they may pose
health risks.
• Regulators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
said they are revisiting the safety of chemicals such as
triclosan in light of recent studies that suggest the
substances can interfere with hormone levels and spur
the growth of drug-resistant bacteria.
“I suspect there are a lot of consumers who
assume that by using an antibacterial soap
product they are protecting themselves from
illness, protecting their families,” said
Sandra Kweder, deputy director in the FDA’s
drug centre.
“But we don’t have
any evidence that
is really the case
over simple
soap and water.”
Experts are concerned that routine use
of antibacterial chemicals such as
triclosan contributes to a surge in drug
resistant germs, or superbugs
