Disinfectants and Health and Safety Supplies through Pescatech
In today’s modern society, one would cringe at the thought of workers not washing their hands before preparing food or disinfectants not being used to sterilise work surfaces where that preparation takes place. What is commonly associated with the prevention of spreading germs and disease today was not accepted as a standard hygienic practice by the world of science for much of recent history.
In fact, the first harmful bacteria and micro-organisms which caused disease were discovered over 300 years ago, yet it still took modern science a long time to establish the link between them, infections, disease and insufficient hand sanitation.
The 19th Century brought an Evolution
All was not lost though, the mid-1800s were good years for the introduction of disinfectants to be used as sterilising agents. Along with many firsts in the health, hygiene and medicinal sciences:
- In 1847, Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis introduced hand sanitizers made from chlorinated lime solutions to prevent postpartum women from dying of Childbed Fever.
- In 1858, English physician Benjamin Richardson observed that hydrogen peroxide eliminated unpleasant odours and proposed its use for disinfectants.
- In 1862, Louis Pasteur pioneered the process of pasteurisation. The French chemist went on to develop the procedures of disinfection and sterilisation.
- In 1865, the Scotsman, Sir Joseph Lister introduced disinfecting agents for the air, hands and dressings for wounds using carbolic acid based on Pasteur’s findings.
The research and findings of these and many others in recent medical science history have assisted with the evolution of hygienic, sterile environments using disinfectants.
