pathogens control methods

Pathogen control methods involve actions to reduce or eliminate harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. This can be achieved through proper sanitation, such as cleaning surfaces with disinfectants, washing hands thoroughly, and sterilizing medical equipment. Good hygiene practices, including regular handwashing and using protective gear, help prevent spreading pathogens. In food handling, cooking at appropriate temperatures and storing food properly kill germs. Vaccinations boost immunity, reducing disease risk. Using technologies like UV light or ionization can also destroy pathogens in the environment. These methods collectively help protect health by minimizing the presence and transmission of harmful microorganisms.
