ABSTRACT
•The use of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) as disinfectants has increased exponentially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.•There is, thus, a corresponding increase in human exposure to these compounds.•New studies reveal important human health concerns.•A re-evaluation of the use of these compounds is in order.•A change over to newer and safer products may bode well for the future.
