Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used at home, in
occupied buildings, recreational areas, industries (the water
industry, food processing industry and pharmaceutical industry,
among others), hospitals and other healthcare settings for a
variety of topical and hard-surface applications. They play a
critical role in controlling the spread of environmentally
transmitted pathogens in healthcare and food-processing
environments, as well as at home. A wide variety of active chemical
agents are found in these products, many of which have been used
for hundreds of years for antisepsis, disinfection, and
preservation. Although its main purpose is to control human
exposure to microorganisms through preventive action, its use
should also be carefully controlled in order to prevent healthcare
problems that may consequently emerge due to their toxicity. The
problems regarding the use of disinfectants are not new, although
unquestionably tangible and pertinent, due to its broad application
in the referred economical activities, as well as due to the
development and emerging of new compounds with this activity. This
book aims to address the various scenarios regarding the use of
disinfectants. Accordingly, through its eleven chapters it is
possible to become aware of the wide range of disinfectant
applications, as well as the concerning advantages and limitations
of its use. This book is divided into two main sections. The first
section, after an overview regarding the use of disinfectants in
society, addresses questions related to its toxicology and health
repercussions along with microbiological mechanisms. In the second
section, a far-reaching exploration of the application of
disinfectants in a set of specifically selected economic
activities, alongside issues concerning their environmental impact
and regulatory matters is addressed. This section also includes two
case studies on novel disinfection methods.
