Disinfection

Disinfection is the process of eliminating or reducing harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, on surfaces or objects to prevent the spread of infections. It involves applying chemical agents or methods that can kill or inactivate these pathogens, making environments safer for people. Disinfection is commonly used in healthcare settings, food industries, and homes to ensure cleanliness and reduce transmission of disease-causing microbes. It does not necessarily remove dirt or restore surfaces to a completely sterile state but significantly lowers the risk of infection.
