One of the notable unintended consequential outcomes of COVID–19 pandemic is the rapid and wide use of sanitizers and disinfectants to control the spread of SARS –CoV–2 virus. To date, the benefits of sanitizers and disinfectants to control the spread of COVID–19 are undeniable. However, concurrently there has been a dramatic increase on the release of highly variant classes of chemicals from these product categories into the aquatic environment, and exposure to humans of largely unknown risks. Scientific data show chemical pollutants are everywhere including the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food that we eat, the rivers and oceans we take leisure on, and they are taking a toll on human health, and ecological integrity. In 2015, pollution was estimated as cause of some 9 million deaths worldwide — three times more than those from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined besides unquantified ecological damage.
