Are nano spray gun sanitising liquids safe?


NANO spray guns are commonly used at home and in workplaces during this current Covid-19 pandemic to spray sanitiser. But the sanitising liquids available in the market should be investigated by the Health Ministry. The Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) urges the ministry to address this issue urgently because of the widespread use of nano spray guns.

Information from the ministry about the sanitising liquids used in these guns is scant, yet such liquids are easily available. Many of them do not declare the ingredients on their labels and some simply tout “proven active ingredients against virus listed in” the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Depart-ment of Environment and even the Health Ministry.
