QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS

According to 'The Daily Telegraph', the invisible coating on facemasks attacks the virus by rapturing its outer layer, effectively eliminating all new mutant variants, including the UK's so-called Kent variant and the South African variant.

Manufactured at Kunigal, Karnataka, these AMGs are made from a patented technology using a quaternary ammonium compound that the company said in a statement kills microbes and provides 99.99 per cent protection for healthcare professionals and patients up to eight hours.

The sanitization protocol includes hand washing with foot operated soap and water dispenser and fogging in a sanitizing tunnel for 20 seconds, an official statement said.

Dubious testing facilities, half-baked safety standards and nonchalant attitudes to hygiene may mean that every food item is prone to contamination.
