Surface contaminants

Surface contaminants are substances like dirt, bacteria, chemicals, or biological materials that settle on the surface of objects or materials. They can be introduced through contact with the environment, handling, or the air. These contaminants can affect cleanliness, safety, and the quality of products or surfaces, especially in healthcare, food processing, and manufacturing. Removing or controlling surface contaminants through cleaning and sterilization is essential to prevent infections, maintain hygiene, and ensure the integrity of materials.
