Medical emergencies related to detergents have increased significantly in recent times, as everyone is cleaning their houses due to COVID-19.

由于COVID-19，每個(gè)人都在清理自己的房屋，與洗滌劑有關(guān)的醫(yī)療緊急情況近年來(lái)顯著增加。

One of the advice of health experts to prevent disease is to clean the house regularly. The US Environmental Protection Agency has released a list of detergents that can fight viruses, and these are quickly put on the consumer market.

衛(wèi)生專家關(guān)于預(yù)防疾病的建議之一是定期打掃房間。美國(guó)環(huán)境保護(hù)署發(fā)布了一份可以抗病毒的洗滌劑清單，這些洗滌劑很快就會(huì)投放到消費(fèi)者市場(chǎng)。

Diane Calello, a medical expert, executive director of the New Jersey Poison Control Center and an associate professor of medicine at Rutgers School of New Jersey, said there are a lot of household cleaning products and people need to read the instructions writen on the package to ensure safety.

According to statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of emergency cases due to exposure to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants increased by about 20% compared to the same period last year.

Due to this, experts have made a few notes to ensure safety when using cleaning chemicals at home.
