Disinfection

Disinfection is the process of reducing or eliminating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, from surfaces, water, or air to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and ensure public health and safety. Disinfection is an essential practice in various settings, including healthcare facilities, public spaces, food processing industries, and water treatment systems.

The primary goal of disinfection is to kill or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms to a level that is considered safe for human health. Disinfectants are chemical substances or physical agents used for this purpose.
