The main disinfectant ingredients that experts are worried about are quaternary ammonium products, also called “quats” or “QACs.” According to the New York Times, quats usually have a chemical name ending in “ammonium chloride” and are found in Lysol, Clorox, 409, or anything that says “kills 99.9 percent of germs.”

Quats can lead to skin irritation and lung issues. Studies show that nurses who regularly use quats to clean medical equipment are more likely to contract asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

These chemicals have also been linked to weakened immune systems and resistance to antibiotics, which can be essential in treating infections.
