sterile environments
Sterile environments are settings designed to prevent the presence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that could cause infection or contamination. These environments are maintained through rigorous cleaning, sterilization of tools and surfaces, controlled airflow, and protective clothing. They are essential in healthcare, laboratories, and manufacturing to ensure safety and product integrity. Achieving sterility involves removing or killing all microbial life, creating an environment that is essentially free of potential infectious agents for specific purposes.
