Abstract：
The article discusses the issue of extensive use of detergents and sanitizers in the time of new challenges associated with the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. These agents could pose threats to the existence of free-living invertebrates as essential components of the ecosystem. The biological effects of the mentioned classes of substances, their metabolites, and combined effects in the mixture have not been studied enough. The main challenges in trying to balance the threats and benefits of using such substances are the lack of knowledge of the biological effects of these products, the gaps in testing invertebrates\' responses, and changes in environment-related regulations to minimize risks to animals and humans. Numerous studies in this field still leave research gaps, particularly concerning the combined toxicity of well-known and widely used disinfectants, surfactants, and heavy metals, posing potential future challenges. Additionally, the review identified the need for additional testing of invertebrates for their sensitivity to disinfectants and surfactants of different compositions, including improved (non-invasive) methods, studies for early life stages, and comparative studies of species resilience.
摘要：
本文讨论了在与COVID-19（SARS-CoV-2）大流行相关的新挑战时期广泛使用洗涤剂和消毒剂的问题。这些因素可能对作为生态系统基本组成部分的自由生活无脊椎动物的存在构成威胁。上述物质的生物效应，它们的代谢物，混合物中的综合效应还没有得到足够的研究。试图平衡使用此类物质的威胁和益处的主要挑战是缺乏对这些产品的生物效应的了解，测试无脊椎动物反应的差距，以及环境相关法规的变化，以最大程度地减少对动物和人类的风险。该领域的大量研究仍留有研究空白,特别是关于众所周知和广泛使用的消毒剂的综合毒性，表面活性剂，和重金属，带来潜在的未来挑战。此外,审查确定需要对无脊椎动物进行额外测试，以了解它们对不同成分的消毒剂和表面活性剂的敏感性，包括改进的（非侵入性）方法，对生命早期阶段的研究，和物种复原力的比较研究。
