The Yangtze Evening News/Ziniu News reporter noticed that in the publicity of the merchants, the cheapest disinfection card of more than 5 yuan is valid for up to 30 days.

Merchants avoid key issues

　　Yangzi Evening News/Ziniu News reporters searched multiple e-commerce platforms and found that more than 4,000 products can be searched by using disinfection cards as keywords, and the store with the highest sales volume has sold more than 100,000 orders.

Disinfection cards also have many other names, such as "portable epidemic prevention card" and "space epidemic prevention card", with prices ranging from 5 yuan to 400 yuan.

On some product display pages, you can also see pictures recommended by Internet celebrities such as Li Jiaqi and Xiao Yang in the live broadcast room.

However, the reporter found no relevant products after inquiring about the product windows of Li Jiaqi and Xiao Yang's live broadcast room.

Some of the "disinfection card" promotion videos retrieved are just edits of the classic lines of the above-mentioned Internet celebrities and insert them into the product introduction of the disinfection card.

The reporter carefully observed the pictures recommended by Internet celebrities displayed by the merchants, and almost all of them took screenshots of the live broadcast and then held the product with both hands on the P picture, showing obvious signs of fraud.

　　Regarding the effectiveness of the disinfection card, a businessman told the reporter: "The gas slowly emitted by the disinfection card will combine with the moisture in the air and react with carbon dioxide to produce a trace amount of chlorine dioxide, which can be adsorbed and pass through the capsid protein of the virus. Damage the nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) genome, effectively prevent the virus from replicating and multiplying, and achieve the effect of eliminating bacteria.” The merchant also added that the effective range of the disinfection card is within one cubic meter around the wearer. It is safer to have more protection.

　　Many merchants chose to avoid answering questions about the validity of the reporter's questions. Some merchants said, "The disinfection card is only an auxiliary function."

The implicated team clarifies that the business is fraudulent

Experiments have proved that the sterilization rate of the disinfection card is 0

　　The reporter noticed that in the product reviews, there were some comments that seemed to be fraudulent, saying that "Daddy Evaluation" also recommended the disinfection card, and even made a review.

　　The reporter contacted the "Dad Evaluation" team, and the relevant staff immediately clarified this, "This is using us as a gimmick to sell products." The staff said that the team did make relevant disinfection cards before the outbreak in 2019 Evaluation, but after professional laboratory testing, the sterilization rate of many products in the name of disinfection cards is 0.

　　Professionals from the "Daddy Evaluation" team told reporters that the basic principle of these so-called disinfection cards is to sterilize bacteria by releasing chlorine dioxide gas from solid particles or powders.

Although chlorine dioxide is an internationally recognized bactericidal agent, in the disinfection cards evaluated by their team, the content of bactericidal agent is so small that it is impossible to play a role.

　　"If you really want to use chlorine dioxide gas for air disinfection, it must be done in a closed space. But if you do this, you may be fainted before the bacteria are killed." "Dad Evaluation" The team said that if this type of disinfection card is completely ineffective, it is likely to cause skin burns due to the irritation of chlorine dioxide to the skin, so it is best not to use it on children.

Overseas warned of the danger many years ago

Plenty of related products are still on sale

　　The reporter searched overseas shopping platforms based on the relevant "Japanese imported" disinfection card information and found that the retrieved disinfection cards were sold by merchants who introduced products in Chinese, but the Japanese company stores associated with the product cover did not sell related products. .

Careful purchasers of disinfection cards pointed out that the purchased disinfection cards did not have any Chinese markings and did not comply with the management regulations on imported goods.

　　Through data query, the reporter found that similar products actually appeared in Japan as early as 2013.

In February 2013, relevant Japanese departments also issued a special investigation report, pointing out that the disinfection card is harmful to the human body, and consumers should stop using related products.

　　The reporter finally made a complaint about some products through the complaint channel of the e-commerce platform. As of the press time of the reporter, a large number of products under the name of "new crown disinfection card" are still sold on major platforms.
