Biocides

Biocides are chemical substances used to control harmful organisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and insects. They are applied in various settings such as hospitals, agriculture, and water treatment to eliminate or prevent the growth of these organisms, protecting health and materials. Biocides work by disrupting vital biological processes in the target organisms, making them effective for sanitation, disinfection, and pest control. Because they are potent chemicals, their use is regulated to ensure safety for humans, animals, and the environment. Proper handling and adherence to guidelines are essential to maximize benefits and minimize risks.
