Environmental Considerations
Products containing aldehydes, like Descoton 2% GDA, are widely used for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. To ensure environmental
safety, it is recommended to neutralize the solution before disposal. Dr. Schumacher provides a deactivating powder, free of charge, to facilitate
this process. For deactivation, mix 30 grams of the powder with every 5 liters of the solution, stir for one minute, and then dispose of it safely.
