Can alcohol be used for disinfection in a car?

[StCarlos]

Yes, but be careful not to smoke in the car after alcohol disinfection. The alcohol concentration should be 75% when using it for disinfection. Here is some additional information: 1. Definition of alcohol: Ethanol (structural formula CH3CH2OH or C2H5OH), commonly known as alcohol, is the most common monohydric alcohol. Under normal temperature and pressure, it is a flammable, volatile, colorless, and transparent liquid with low toxicity. The pure liquid cannot be consumed directly and has a special odor (slightly irritating), with a slightly sweet taste (accompanied by a pungent spiciness). It is flammable, and its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air. It can be miscible with water in any ratio and can also mix with chloroform, ether, methanol, acetone, and most other organic solvents. It is an isomer of dimethyl ether. 2. Principle of alcohol sterilization and disinfection: Alcohol is an organic compound, and its molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate the membrane on the surface of bacteria and enter their interior. This alters the molecular structure of the proteins that form the basis of bacterial life, causing protein denaturation (protein coagulation), thereby achieving a bactericidal effect.
