Decontaminants are substances that help remove or neutralize harmful substances from surfaces, equipment, or people. Synonyms for decontaminants include disinfectants, sanitizers, antiseptics, sterilizers, and purifiers. These substances are often used in medical facilities, laboratories, and cleanrooms to prevent the spread of infection and ensure the safety of workers and patients. Disinfectants and sanitizers are commonly used for cleaning and sterilizing surfaces, while antiseptics are used to clean wounds and prevent infections. Sterilizers are used to kill all microorganisms on surfaces or equipment, and purifiers are used to clean air or water. Whatever the task may be, decontaminants are essential tools in maintaining safe and clean environments.
