Carbo Phenol
Powder This
is a disinfectant powder containing 5% Carbolic Acid. The carbolic
acid is a known disinfectant and germicide. The carbolic acid has a
refreshing smell. This powder when applied on garbage dump, dead
animal, fish market waste, slaughter house floor, squatting grounds,
public urinals immediately reacts and kills the pathogenic bacteria
and the bacteria responsible for rotting and emitting foul odour.
This helps in stopping the bad odour which otherwise spoils the
atmosphere. Previously most of the public health departments were
usign BHC, DDT or Malathion powders to mask the bad odour coming from
the above said places. This practice was wrong as pesticides had no
effect on the bacteria and as such they use to grow and cause damage
to the society. However government imposed ban on using these
products in public health and now a proper product is available in
the form of Carbo-Phenol Powder.
