Abstract

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) usage is increased extraordinarily after COVID-19. After lockdown, NaOCl is used as a disinfectant at every possible public and private place. Hospitals and Institutions were using it for the same purpose. In this study, NaOCl chemistry is investigated. Its impact on humans and the environment is also analyzed from the available literature. Although, some immediately recent research papers are also considered and mentioned in this paper. This paper also encapsulates information about NaOCl usage, advantage, comparison with other disinfectants, importance, precautions, etc. This study concludes the standardized use of NaOCland also recommends the policy required for its use.
