Is SpectraSan 24 truly safe to use?
SpectraSan 24 is non-flammable, non-corrosive, odorless, colorless and has the lowest toxicity rating (Category IV) assigned by the EPA. There are no harsh chemical smells or skin irritation that can be associated with other traditional disinfectants. The EPA does not require “Signal Words” or warnings for Category IV disinfectant products, but does have serious warnings for Category II disinfectant products, such as household chlorine bleach. Category II disinfectant products must be labeled with a number of the following warnings: Danger, Warning, Corrosive, Seek Medical Advice, may be fatal if absorbed through skin, may be fatal if inhaled, causes substantial but temporary eye injury and causes skin irritation.
