| Popis: | Citizens can adopt behavioural precautions against the SARS-CoV-2 virus Hand hygiene practices that require water and soap or alcohol-water solutions are easy to perform, highly effective preventive measure against the virus A closer look at the processes happening at molecular level during hand washing/sanitizing reveals the importance of solvation science In both practices, solvation effects have peculiar and pivotal consequences, and the role of the water solvent is difficult to overestimate: Water assists soap molecules that tear apart the viruś membrane;water mediates and assist the alcohol in inactivating the virus An understanding of solvation processes is necessary in order to grasp why disinfectants only have to be effective outside but not inside the body Besides, the principle “more is better” does not apply to the use of soap nor to the alcohol content in a disinfectant Instead, the right mixture of components ensures ideal effectiveness while providing good skin care , Wiley-VCH Verlag All rights reserved |
