Finding F-1363

“Across all investigated indoor settings, average fine particles levels presented the smallest increase for bleach (1.48 μg m−3) and the highest for quats (6.35 μg m−3).”

Structure

Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Study design: measurement study of common cleaners and disinfectants in real indoor settings, among them a hotel lobby, lift and public bathroom during routine surface disinfection: fine particulate matter and total volatile organic compounds measured before, during and after each cleaning event, for bleach, quaternary ammonium compounds, thymol and other products (class 3)
Effect: difference 6.35
Caveat: the study itself calls the increases relatively small
