“…Two alternative strategies include room fumigation and ultraviolet C (UVC) surface disinfection. [10,11] Stronger liquid disinfectants, chemical room fumigation, and UVC germicidal irradiation are being deployed in healthcare facilities because of concerns about the role of the environment as a cause of HAIs and a perception that current surface cleaning and disinfection methods are ineffective. It is important to remember that germicidal chemical disinfectants have the potential to not only inactivate microbes but to harm patients and workers.…”

“…Entre las estrategias de desinfecci on alternativas se incluyen la fumigaci on del lugar y la desinfecci on de superficies con radiaci on ultravioleta C (UVC). [10,11] La preocupaci on por el entorno como causa de las IAAS y la percepci on de que los m etodos actuales de limpieza y desinfecci on de superficies son ineficaces ha llevado a que en los centros sanitarios se empleen desinfectantes l ıquidos m as fuertes, a la fumigaci on qu ımica del lugar y la irradiaci on germicida con radiaci on UVC. Es importante recordar que los desinfectantes qu ımicos germicidas no solo tienen potencial para inactivar a los microbios, sino tambi en para causar daño a los pacientes y el personal sanitario.…”
