Why do tuberculocidal disinfectants require special handling?

They can damage surfaces
They emit harmful fumes
They require a special method of disposal
They take a long time to act

The correct answer is: They can damage surfaces

Tuberculocidal disinfectants are chemicals specifically designed to kill tuberculosis bacteria, which are highly resistant and difficult to kill. These disinfectants contain strong and potentially harmful ingredients that can damage surfaces if not handled properly. While they may be effective in killing bacteria, they also have the potential to cause harm to humans and the environment if not used and disposed of correctly. Therefore, special handling and precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of both the user and the surrounding environment. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because although they may also be factors to consider when handling disinfectants, they are not the primary reason why tuberculocidal disinfectants require special handling.
