He said government monitoring of sanitiser products is imperative, as some manufacturers have failed to spell out what they contain, which is a deviation from the local standard.
Of particular concern was the inconsistency in the amount of ethanol in sanitisers, affecting their efficacy. “There are several substandard hand sanitisers out there and this is driven largely by profit. For example, because ethanol is an expensive solution, if you cut corners on 10%, that equates to more profit.”
Yusuf said 50 products of different origins and formulations obtained off the shelf and in public places in and around Tshwane were analysed for their alcohol content using gas chromatography.Of these, only 14 met the WHO’s recommended 80% alcohol content to have a virucidal effect on SARS-CoV-2.
