What are biocides?

Biocides are substances that can destroy living organisms. The use of a chemical or biocide that kills organisms such as mold (chlorine bleach, for example) is not recommended as a routine practice during mold cleanup. Never mix chlorine bleach solution with other cleaning solutions or detergents that contain ammonia because toxic fumes could be produced. Dead mold may still cause allergic reactions in some people, so it is not enough to simply kill the mold, it must also be removed.

Biocides are chemical materials or preparations from chemical substances, who are intended either to kill parasites and hurtful organisms or at least to limit their life function. The aim is to deter them, to make them innocuous or to fight them in other way.
