Andhra Pradesh got its first organic disinfection tunnel in Anantapur district
The Sub-Collector of Penukonda took the initiative with the support of Dr Karthik Narayana, who is running Sugaradhana project in Karnataka, in setting up organic disinfection tunnel
Three such tunnels came up in Hindupur
- Instead of sodium hypochlorite, CitrobioShield solution is used in organic disinfection tunnel
The solution is being used at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Chest Diseases in operation theatres for fumigation
- This will have no side effects if it is sprayed on people
WHO has stated that sodium hypochlorite exposure may cause nasal irritation, sore throat and cough. Exposure to the chemical concentration can cause serious damages
