We investigated the exposure concentration of isopropyl alcohol, which is used for disinfection at the time of intravenous catheterization, in the breathing zone. This study examined the concentration of isopropyl alcohol for disinfection as part of intravenous catheterization, and confirmed that medical workers are unlikely to inhale isopropyl alcohol at concentrations that may lead to health hazards during normal disinfection.
