PRODUCING THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
5 [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a nanoparticle composition. The present disclosure, in particular, relates to a nanocopper composition. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a composition that aids to prevent and control infectious diseases, preferably coronavirus or norovims. The present disclosure also relates to a method of preparing the nanoparticle composition. 0
BACKGROUND
[0002] Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is an infectious disease which is spreading globally at an unprecedented rate. Experts are encouraging social distance and use of face masks in order to prevent further spread of the COVID-5 19 and other pathogenic diseases. Hygienic practices such as washing hands regularly will protect from many pathogenic diseases.
[0003] Typically, disinfectants utilize 60 to 95 percent of alcohol with combination of isopropanol, ethanol, and n-propanol. These alcohol-based0 sanitizers destroy cell wall of microbes or interferes with their metabolism thereby killing the microbes in the process. However, the alcohol-based hand sanitizers will kill both beneficial and non-beneficial microbes which causes various problems in humans. However, it is still not known, whether available hand- sanitizer are effective against killing viruses such as novel coronavirus. 5
[0004] Conventionally, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are used to wash hands before intake of any food products. This prevents the microbes to enter into the human body along with the food. However, alcohol will also be ingested along with the food products thereby resulting in alcohol poisoning in the human body. 0 The endocrine dismptors which are available in the alcohol is a major factor for early puberty in children. The most common types of hostile health effects for
both alcohol and non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers include ocular irritation, vomiting, conjunctivitis, oral infection, cough, abdominal pain, etc.
