Does EPA recommend the use of certain disinfectant chemicals or products over others for inactivating highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus?
EPA does not recommend one disinfectant over another. Through its registration process, EPA considers all required and any other pertinent information in its registration decision. If the conditions and criteria of product safety and efficacy are met, EPA grants registration authorizing sale, distribution, and use of the product. All disinfectant products that EPA has registered for use against avian influenza A viruses have met EPA’s registration requirements and should not pose unreasonable adverse effects when used as directed.
