Disinfectants: an introduction

Disinfectants sits under Chemicals & Materials in the Water Technologies section. This introduction sets out what the topic covers and what it leaves to neighbouring topics, so a reader can tell quickly whether they are in the right place.

What it covers

The terms an engineer or a planner meets first, the decisions the topic informs, and the evidence those decisions usually rest on.

Where to go next

The other entries under Chemicals & Materials take each part further, and the encyclopedia holds the definitions, parameters and standards they cite.
