The impact of micro-organisms on the human world is enormous. They pose a threat to human health in many spheres of activity such as the preparation of food and drugs, hospitals and swimming pools but, are also responsible for a damage to a wide variety of manufactured products including paper, textiles, wood, leather, fuel, lubricants, cosmetics and construction materials. This book explains the basic scientific principle involved in disinfection, preservation and sterilisation and describes in detail how they are applied in
