Ebola virus has plagued scientists for years, has not yet developed an effective vaccine. However, it is not omnipotent. According to the report CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), PHAC (Public Health Agency of Canada) and the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 10 things that can kill Ebola virus. Check it out together!
1, fire
Ebola is contaminated items will be incinerated. Once the ashes will not be harmful. CDC report entitled "Waste Disposal and Ebola-related," the document said: "Ebola-related waste, if properly taken incineration, autoclaving or inactivation other manner, no longer infectious It will not pose a threat to health, but also no longer belong to the federal law within the meaning of medical waste or dangerous goods. "
2, acid
According to the report of the Public Health Agency of Canada, Ebola exposure to a concentration of 3% acetic acid solution, can be killed. We eat the pungent smell of vinegar is derived from acetic acid. Acetic acid concentration of greater than 12.3% of sales are prohibited in Canada, other countries have similar restrictions. In general, most vinegar can kill Ebola.
3, boil
PHAC reports that the Ebola virus was boiled for 5 minutes, you can kill it. This is not a good way, because before reaching the boiling point, the virus in the water may evaporate along with water and spread.
4, alcohol
According to PHAC, Ebola on the "alcoholic products" very sensitive. Most hand disinfection cleaning agents contain alcohol (which is why many disposable hand sanitizers can not bring reason the aircraft). However, Ebola may play a role in cleaning agents or other alcoholic product hands before enter the body through tiny cracks in the skin.
CDC reports that in the dry surfaces such as door handles and on the desktop, Ebola virus can survive for a few hours long, it is recommended that the staff room for contact with a patient's body, hands and arms should be all wrapped up . In body fluids (such as blood), Ebola virus lifetime longer, than even in the patient's body. CDC said that in this environment, the Ebola virus at room temperature, can survive for several days.
5, glutaraldehyde
Glutaraldehyde is a colorless pungent smell of oily liquid. According to the PHAC and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute provided, containing 1% to 2% glutaraldehyde products can kill Ebola virus. Commonly used as a disinfectant glutaraldehyde, organic synthesis intermediates, tanning agents, oil field water fungicides. In addition to the wart products usually contain small amounts of glutaraldehyde.
6, bleach
Our family commonly used in bleaching agents, before the virus is a powerful weapon. According to World Health Organization, PHAC and CDC reported a concentration of 5.25% bleach solution to completely destroy the Ebola virus. Is commonly used to disinfect swimming pool water chlorine powder, also can kill Ebola virus.
7, stewed ......
"Ebola soup bowl?" I do not want to ...... However, according to PHAC report, at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius and simmer 30 to 60 minutes, you can inactivate or kill the Ebola virus.
8, disinfection radiation +
Surprisingly, the Ebola virus seems to tolerate a certain amount of radiation, it is not a simple process. PHAC said gamma irradiation with a little glutaraldehyde can kill Ebola. A lot of the far UV has the same effect.
United States San Antonio company (Xenex) developed an anti-virus robot, called "meng" (Little Moe). It uses ultraviolet light pulses, in minutes, to be contaminated with Ebola virus surface clean.
9, soap
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in warning passengers said that Ebola can be easily killed by soap, frequent hand washing with soap is recommended that passengers or disinfectant.
But, as I said before, in front of the soap works, Ebola and other viruses may enter the body through tiny cracks in the skin, so wash your hands and not completely prevent the spread of Ebola.
10, the sun
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said in the sun exposure, the Ebola virus will be dry to death. University of Chicago epidemiologist Emily Langdon agree with this and think, left the human and other animal hosts, Ebola virus is a very easy to kill pathogens.
