Disinfection is the process of eliminating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, from surfaces, objects, or environments to reduce the risk of infection. It plays a crucial role in maintaining hygiene in homes, workplaces, healthcare settings, and public spaces. Disinfectants like bleach, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide are commonly used to kill germs. Disinfection is especially important in hospitals to prevent the spread of diseases.
