While many different chemical substances can be employed as disinfectants, no disinfection is best for all jobs. A disinfectant that is effective against bacteria, for instance, might not be effective against fungus, and it might not be effective against all types of bacteria.
Reactivity and safety are other factors to take into account when selecting Disinfectants. Highly reactive disinfectants run the risk of destroying or degrading particular materials or surfaces, or they may react negatively if used on a surface that has been polluted with a particular chemical.
Separate from reactivity issues, the disinfectant's safety must be taken into account. The most effective Disinfectants are also the most hazardous to humans since they typically contain poisonous compounds. When high levels of disinfection are required to stop the spread of infectious diseases, this kind of disinfectant is generally utilised in highly pathogenic settings like hospitals.
