Biocides

Biocides are chemical or biological substances that are used to kill, control, or prevent the growth of unwanted organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and insects. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including water treatment, food preservation, healthcare, agriculture, and industrial processes. Biocides work by disrupting the vital processes of target organisms, either by causing physical damage or interfering with their metabolic pathways.
