We are not alone! On this planet, we are living with many seen and unseen creatures. We can protect ourselves from the creatures which are visible to the eye but what can be done for the unseen? These unseen beings are everywhere around you. One of them is the tiny creatures called microorganisms e.g. bacteria and Viruses. You cannot see them with your naked eye but prevent their dangerous effects by disinfecting them.
What is disinfection?
It is a process of cleaning and purifying the infected surfaces with the help of a chemical. Different objects around you, your study table, your mobile phone, your Tablet, and the floors on which you walk are always covered with thousands of bacteria and even viruses. These are called infected surfaces. When we do not disinfect these surfaces with an effective disinfectant then the chances of bacteria and viruses to enter our systems can be increased to 99.9 %. In order to avoid such unfavorable conditions, the process of disinfection is there for you which fits best in the proverb “Prevention is better than cure”.
What are disinfectants?
Disinfectants are the chemical agents of variable nature that kill the microorganisms on the surfaces and clean them. They destroy the bacteria on inert surfaces. The effectiveness of disinfectants depends on the quality of the product. Not every disinfectant can kill the bacteria and viruses but the good one which contains the surfactants and is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They are the liquid solutions, frequently used in hospitals, kitchens, bathrooms, and surgical instruments to kill all the pathogenic organisms.
How disinfectants kill bacteria?
The use of disinfectant products kills germs on surfaces, helping to stop the spread of infectious diseases. How these disinfectants prove lethal for these tiny creatures? This is how they work.
Bacteria such as salmonella and E-coli that cause food poisoning and diarrhea or staphylococcus aureus that causes skin infections are single-celled microscopic organisms. Disinfectants kill these bacteria by interfering with the outer layers of the bacterial cells causing the leakage of cell contents and structural damage to important molecules within the cells and as a result the death of a bacteria.
Disinfectants also kill viruses. Viruses such as influenza cause the flu and it needs to invade the human cells in order to replicate and cause infection. Disinfectants interfere with the structural components and genetic elements of the virus particles which are essential for this replication process in the human host cells. These disinfectants remove their protein coats around their bodies and make them unable to replicate. If a virus cannot infect and replicate, it is essentially dead and cannot cause an infection.
Everyone can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases effectively by breaking the chain of infection and by implementing the good hygiene practices in-home and in the community at large.
Current crisis of Covid-19 and need of disinfection:
The coronavirus pandemic is spreading continuously across the globe, with more than 4.7 million confirmed cases in almost 188 countries and more than 300,000 people have lost their lives. Still, the world is living without its vaccine. This virus is so contagious that it can infect anything and it mainly spreads by contact through surfaces and it can even stay in the air. So, disinfection is the only protection for such surfaces.
Qualities of a good disinfectant:
Every disinfectant must have an effect that can kill the maximum strains of bacteria and viruses. It must be easy and safer to use so that no side effects can be born out of its use. Their wetting and killing time must be considered because the more it takes time to kill the pathogen the lesser it will be effective. By critically analyzing all these factors you can make the best choices about disinfection.
