カリ金属の炭酸塩又は炭酸水素塩を混合することを特徴
とする砂場の細菌抑制方法を提供する。The present invention provides a method for controlling bacteria in a sandbox, which comprises mixing an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate in the sandbox.

酸水素塩の量を増やしても効果がかわらない。In the present invention, the alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate is preferably mixed in an amount of 0.5 to 5% by weight, particularly 0.8 to 2% by weight based on the weight of the sand in the sandbox. If the amount is less than 0.5% by weight, the effect is hard to appear. 5
If the amount is more than 100% by weight, the effect is not changed even if the amount of the alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate is further increased.

酸水素塩とともに砂場に入れればよい。[0006] As a method of mixing the alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate with the sand in the sandbox, the mixing may be performed manually or using a small cultivator. When sand is added to a new sandbox, new sand is added to an existing sandbox, or sand is replaced, mix sand and alkali metal carbonate or hydrogencarbonate in advance using a mixer, etc. The sand may be put in a sandbox together with the alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate.

しい。The alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate in the present invention includes sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate,
Sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate and the like can be mentioned. Among them, alkali metal bicarbonate is particularly preferable because it is safe for a worker to handle and for a child to play in a sandbox.

くなると考えられる。In the present invention, the reason why the alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate has the effect of suppressing the growth of bacteria contained in the sand in the sandbox is not necessarily clear, but is presumed as follows. In general, hydrogen ions can freely penetrate the cell wall of the cells, and the concentration of hydrogen ions inside and outside the cells is kept in equilibrium by diffusion. On the other hand, the optimum pH of general microorganisms is 2.
It is in the range of 5-9. However, by mixing an alkali metal bicarbonate in the sandbox, the extracellular pH is 9-1.
2 and the pH inside the cells changes to 9-12, and proteins such as enzymes necessary for the growth of the cells are denatured and the cells die or the cells are destroyed by physical shock or environmental changes such as drying. It is thought that it becomes easy to do.
