What is the Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse (IC2)?The IC2 is an association of state, local, and tribal governments that promotes a clean environment, healthy communities, and a vital economy through the development and use of safer chemicals and products.
The goals of the IC2 are to:• Avoid duplication and enhance efficiency and effectiveness of agency
initiatives on chemicals through collaboration and coordination• Build governmental capacity to identify and promote safer chemicals and
products• Ensure that agencies, businesses, and the public have ready access to high
quality and authoritative chemicals data, information, and assessment methods

What is the COVID-19 Virus? SARS-CoV-2
It is a new (novel) strain of Human Coronavirus
Enveloped virus
Envelope is a lipid layer
Susceptible to heat
Deactivated with cleaners and disinfectants
Envelope increases transmissibility

Work-Related Asthma
Strong evidence of respiratory disease among workers that are exposed to cleaning products (Rosenman, 2020; Cummings and Virji, 2018)
Custodial workers experience one of the highest rates of occupational asthma
Healthcare workers at increase risk of rhinitis and work-related asthma (Feng-Chiao, 2019;Dumas, 2019;Mazurek, 2016)
Evidence that bystanders’ exposure to cleaning products leads to asthma (WRAPP, 2014)

Key Terms
Cleaner –removes germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces or objects. Soap, water, and friction.
Sanitizer- reduces germs on surfaces to levels considered safe for public health (99.99%)
Disinfectant – destroys almost all infectious germs, when used as the label directs on a surface. No effect on dirt, soil or dust.
CLEAN FIRST, Then DISINFECTANT

Develop Your PlanWhat needs to be cleaned? Unoccupied areas for 7 or more days need only routine
cleaning Maintain existing cleaning practices for outdoor areas Develop a set of written standard operating procedures
What areas will be disinfected? Identify high risk areas and tasks Type of surface (porous and non porous) Kind of bacteria or virus Prioritize frequently touched surfaces

Conventional DisinfectantsChlorine bleach (Sodium hypochlorite)– Causes occupational asthma– Corrosive to eyes and skin– High aquatic toxicity
Quaternary ammonium chlorides(“Quats”)
– Asthmagens– Concentrating in sewage sludge– Corrosive, need to be rinsed off

CDC Cleaning GuidanceCleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.
Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas (e.g., tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, phones, tables, touch screens, remote controls, keyboards, handles, desks, toilets, sinks)

First week of March –Haz Waste staff told to telework• Now what?
• Key messages had to be examined, possibly revised• What about disinfecting?
• How plan, if no more in-person meetings?
• How provide service, if no more home visits?
• Now what?
![Page 57: IC2 Webinar: Best Practices for Safer Cleaning and …Cleaning products Disinfectants-Sodium hypochlorite-Quaternary ammonium compounds- “Quats” Acids and bases Solvents Aerosol](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042709/5f3f289e87ed1c305f4606f5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
How does safer cleaning connect to disinfecting to kill a virus?
![Page 58: IC2 Webinar: Best Practices for Safer Cleaning and …Cleaning products Disinfectants-Sodium hypochlorite-Quaternary ammonium compounds- “Quats” Acids and bases Solvents Aerosol](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042709/5f3f289e87ed1c305f4606f5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Planning: we tele-met with our partners - often audio only
• We asked if or how they thought their projects could continue.
• We asked what they needed for their communities during COVID-19.
• This was not a linear discussion.
![Page 59: IC2 Webinar: Best Practices for Safer Cleaning and …Cleaning products Disinfectants-Sodium hypochlorite-Quaternary ammonium compounds- “Quats” Acids and bases Solvents Aerosol](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042709/5f3f289e87ed1c305f4606f5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
As we planned, we had to recognize equity issues
• COVID-19 information initially only English – partners needed Spanish, Arabic, French, Somali
• At home – partner staff may not have good internet• People share their home work stations (kitchens) with children and spouses
• Some people became ill and could not be tested, while others were able to be tested
• Need to expand our key message to communities beyond Haz Waste scope and include what they cared about – COVID information.

How provide service to communities, during a pandemic?• Both partners decided that their outreach would continue, virtually
• This means in-home visits became:
• An initial phone call, audio only
• Teaching materials (safer cleaning kit, flyers) are delivered to each participant’s door
• A virtual home visit on video platform that worked best for each organization and their communities

Each virtual approach is slightly different from the other on the same topic
• Sea Mar – now doing virtual visits• Using What’sApp, live demonstration of products by staff and
participants, and participants do demo• Staff is working from their individual offices• Participants on their phones
• Mother Africa – beginning virtual visits in late June• Using Zoom, presentation and process of demo not yet decided• Working from their homes• Participants on their phones

Partners and Haz Waste had to learn and are still learning• How to be respectful and listen, when people don’t want to be
seen on video for personal or cultural reasons and audio only is the choice
• How do you move teaching items when offices are closed, official vehicles are not running? Etc, etc, etc.
• Video conferencing tools• Skype• Zoom• What’sApp
• Online survey tools• SNAP survey• Kahoot• Survey monkey

Virtual visits work!
Participants are learning how to read labels and pledging to use safer cleaning products for 2 months.

How does Haz Waste do outreach during a pandemic?
• Years ago, we committed to leading with racial equity, as an antidote to institutionalized racism
• Because of that we had built and nurtured relationships with community partners.
• We were committed to sharing power and co-creating• This allowed us the grace to hold the space of not-knowing, which allowed the creativity, passion for the work and resilience of our partners to flourish and lead to a way forward.
