CONCEPCION ROJAS, Miriam; MARTINEZ VARONA, Miriam e BEADES QUINTANA, Miriam. Evaluación de la efectividad del producto furfural como posible desinfectante. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 1997, vol.35, n.1, pp. 25-29. ISSN 1561-3003.
A study on the antimicrobial effectiveness of Furfural product as possible disinfectant agent was carried out. The methodology CAME was used for the evaluation. The product as an alcoholic solution in concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 was applied againts reference germs and a good effectiveness at 1 min was obtained. The test of skin and ophthalmic irritability yielded that the product is slightly irritant for the skin and mucosa, so it should not be used as a disinfectant agent neither for the antisepsis of the skin nor for the antisepsis of the hands.
