Biocides are non-agricultural pesticides used to control, eliminate, inhibit, detoxify, or prevent harmful organisms in ways other than mere physical and mechanical actions. They include active materials such as microorganisms and substances that affect harmful organisms. A product containing one or more of these active substances is called a biocidal product.

Currently, biocides are used extensively. In 2011, the biocides caused several social problems in Korea because of unexplained lung disease in pregnant women and infants due to exposure to humidifier disinfectants. Furthermore, these biocides are predicted to cause more severe lung diseases among workers handling such substances than the general public due to direct and longer exposure to biocides at a high concentration in the work environment. However, currently, there is a lack of research in this regard.

Benzalkonium Chloride is primarily used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent, and secondarily used as a surfactant. It works by killing microorganisms and inhibiting their future growth, and for this reason frequently appears as an ingredient in antibacterial hand wipes, antiseptic creams and anti-itch ointments. In cosmetics, its antimicrobial properties are employed to protect products from spoiling. It’s mostly used in personal care products like rash creme, foot odor powder, facial lotion, cleanser, makeup and sunscreen.
