In the Yoshkar-Ola Children's Republican Hospital, disinfection is mainly carried out with chlorine-containing preparations (chlorine lime, chloramine, DP-2, etc.) and mostly by wet method - by sprinkling or dipping contaminated items in the disinfectant. However, these preparations have a significant disadvantage - high corrosive activity. In addition, they are toxic to humans and can accumulate in the environment. Because of their repeated use, bacteria become resistant.
