Disinfection is an essential operation designed to eliminate or neutralize undesirable micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, present on surfaces or in the air. It also inactivates viruses to prevent the spread of disease and infection, ensuring a safe and healthy environment, particularly in air-conditioning systems.
What does the term disinfection include?
Under this generic term, several specific actions can be distinguished, depending on the type of micro-organism to be eliminated:
- Bactericide: Product that kills bacteria. Essential for reducing the risk of respiratory infections.
- Levuricide: Product that kills yeasts, which are particularly prevalent in humid environments.
- Fungicide: Product that kills fungi, such as mold, which can grow in air conditioners.
- Sporicide: Product that eliminates bacterial spores, a resistant form of micro-organism.
- Virucide: Product that kills viruses, essential in the prevention of viral diseases.
Each disinfectant can have a targeted action on a specific type of micro-organism, or a broader action combining several properties.
Why is it necessary to disinfect regularly?
Disinfection is essential because it eliminates the micro-organisms present at any given time. However, it does not prevent recontamination of surfaces or air after the operation. That's why it needs to be renewed regularly to maintain a healthy environment, especially in air-conditioning systems, where bacteria and fungi can proliferate rapidly in humid conditions.
Regular disinfection helps lower microbial density below the risk threshold, guaranteeing the safety of building occupants.
The difference between decontamination, disinfection and sterilization
- Decontamination: This is an operation designed to eliminate or reduce the number of microbes on living surfaces or tissues to levels deemed safe. It is often used before disinfection.
- Disinfection: The aim of this operation is to eliminate micro-organisms present at a given time on inert media. It is effective over a short period, and must be repeated regularly.
- Sterilization: The aim of sterilization is to eliminate all micro-organisms, including spores, guaranteeing a prolonged state of sterility.
