<p>Public Health England (PHE) has not conducted any assessment on the effects of
disinfectant or bleach on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Preliminary
research by scientists at Harvard University and the French National Institute of
Health and Medical Research found an association between an increase in the incidence
of COPD in nurses that frequently used bleach and other cleaning products. This is
the first to report such an effect. PHE will monitor any further developments and
research in this area.</p>
