Hartmann and colleagues examined quaternary ammonium compounds, or quats, which are used in disinfectants and personal care products. 

They reviewed the existing environmental and human health science on quats, which have been used much more since the pandemic began, and found that the compounds are linked to asthma, dermatitis, inflammation, infertility, birth defects and other problems.

They can also harm aquatic life and cause antimicrobial resistance, which can make drug-resistant viruses and bacteria.

Scientists warn of disinfectant dangers: Study

“It’s ironic that the chemicals we’re deploying in vain for one health crisis are actually fueling another.”
