One example of proper hand hygiene is the use of instant hand sanitizer. Purell instant hand sanitizer is a type of hand sanitizer that is composed of ethyl alcohol. One of its active ingredients is ethanol which is 62% w/w. It could be applied by wetting one’s hand meticulously and then rubbing it together briskly until it dries up. It is said to kill 99.99% of most common bacteria and germs which could be grounds for health problems as slight as 15 seconds. Hand sanitizers that are based in alcohol could kill viruses that causes gastrointestinal or GI and respiratory infections. Alcohol based hand sanitizers such as Purell has alcohol which is said to be a natural antiseptic. Alcohol is widely used in medical institutions for more than 100 years not just because of the reason that it kills germs and bacteria in seconds but because it leaves no residue on the skin as well. Alcohol is also known to destroy germs physically and kills toxic bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, shigella, streptococcus and staphylococcus. However, no proof has been made that it kills viruses as well.

Using alcohol based hand sanitizers lessens illness especially in places where germs are widely spread such as in hospitals, food institutions, bus stations, restaurants and schools. CDC or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have formulated regulation for hospitals, schools, home and work to use alcohol or any alcohol based products to obstruct the multiplication of germs. Alcohol eradicates both pathogenic or disease causing microorganisms and resident bacterial flora though it doesn’t cause any illness. According to contemporary researchers, alcohol based hand sanitizers are not posing any risk of removing good germs that are present on the skin naturally. After moving the germs to the area where fewer are present, the body urgently replaces the good germs found on the hands. Also, alcohol removes the skin of the outer layer which gives negative effects on impediment function of the skin. However, using hand soaps and washing with detergents may result in high skin barrier disruption in contrast to alcohol solutions which may lead to augment loss of skin lipids. The Chicago Tribune has discovered that children have become ill by using hand sanitizer such as Purell. As a matter of fact, one child’s assimilation of the hand sanitizer may cause her blood alcohol level to rise up and reach 0.218. Purell has 62% ethyl alcohol. Other hand sanitizers have isopropanol. Similar to alcohol, isopropanol is also fatal. Thus, it has been recommended that all products containing alcohol or isopropanol must put on their packaging “keep out of the reach of children.” Hand sanitizer product is also flammable and some may discolor cloth. Aside from ethyl alcohol, hand sanitizers such as Purell also contain glycerin, isopropyl alcohol, fragrance, carbomer, aminomethyl propanol, isopropyl myristate, propylene glycol and tocopheryl acetate.
