[Hygienic assessment of children's clothes made using new-generation textile auxiliaries]
Abstract:
The paper presents the results of sanitary-and-chemical studies of samples of tissues treated with new-generation textile auxiliaries (TAs). The application of new-generation TAs containing the lower levels of formaldehyde (FA) is shown not to eliminate the problem of their safe use in making children's clothes. The safe values for exposure to FA have been estimated in relation to the real load of a garment. The toxic action of cutaneous versus intragastric FA has been evaluated in immature rats. The clothes FA level of 20 microg/g has been found to produce no toxic effect on a living organism.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated.
Methods of Sterilization II: Chemical Methods
Using chemical sterilization rather than heat to clean out equipment is recommended. It eradicates and removes all bacteria,...
Surface Membrane Barriers
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...
