FAQ and Advice for COVID-19
-
How effective are alternative disinfection methods, such as ultrasonic waves, high intensity UV radiation, and LED blue light?
The efficacy of these disinfection methods against the virus that causes COVID-19 is not known
EPA only recommends use of the surface disinfectants identified on List N against the virus that causes COVID-19. EPA does not routinely review the safety or efficacy of pesticidal devices, such as UV lights, LED lights, or ultrasonic devices.
Therefore, EPA cannot confirm whether, or under what circumstances, such products might be effective against the spread of COVID-19. -
Don’t spray disinfectants to kill coronavirus.
Chemical disinfectant can be useful to disinfect surfaces, but hazardous for human body. According to WHO, spreading disinfectant on skin does not kill the virus when it’s already entered body.
Do not under any circumstance spray or introduce bleach or any other disinfectant into your body. – WHO -
「COVID-19」 Disinfection Guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at public and multi-purpose facilities
Approved disinfectants by the MOE are permitted to disinfect the surface of hard materials, but there is no recognized equipment to directly spraying/fogging onto the human body.
Spraying disinfectants to people by using equipment such as sterilizing tunnel or cabinet etc. does not reduce the risk of droplet transmission or contact infection. → It is not recommended in any circumstances as it may irritates eyes and skin, and also cause symptoms such as respiratory, nausea and vomiting. -
Why aren’t ozone generators, UV lights, or air purifiers on List N?
Unlike chemical pesticides, EPA does not routinely review the safety or efficacy of pesticidal devices, and therefore cannot confirm whether, or under what circumstances, such products might be effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Potential risks associated with the use of Ozone and UV light products for cleaning CPAP machines and accessories: FDA safety communication
Even relatively low levels of ozone can cause health effect.
When inhaled high concentration ozone, it may damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and, throat irritation. It may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma as well as compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. -
Microwave radiation (2.45 GHz)-induced oxidative stress: Whole-body exposure effect on histopathology of Wistar rats
Man-made microwave technologies have been steadily increasing and these appliances affect biological systems by increasing free radicals, thus leading to oxidative damage. Histological changes in brain, liver, testis, kidney and spleen were observed after whole-body microwave exposure.
Based on this result, exposure to microwave radiation for two hours per day and for 35days may potentially cause histopathology and oxidative changes in Wistar rats. These results indicate possible implications of such exposure on human health.
