Chemical agents or chemicals known as "biocides" are used to eradicate hazardous germs and other living microbes. They are used in a variety of contexts, including industrial operations, water treatment, agriculture, healthcare, and domestic goods, to stop the growth or activity of undesirable biological entities.
In Europe, the regulation of biocides is governed by the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), specifically Regulation (EU) 528/2012. This regulatory framework ensures a high standard of protection for human health, animal health, and the environment. The BPR mandates a meticulous authorization process for biocidal products, requiring comprehensive assessments of both active substances and finished products for efficacy, safety, and environmental impact. Biocidal products are categorized based on their intended use, including disinfectants, preservatives, insecticides, and more. Only active substances approved at the EU level can be utilized, and the regulation encourages data sharing to minimize animal testing. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) oversees the evaluation and authorization processes, and a systematic review program ensures ongoing compliance. Europe's regulatory approach emphasizes consumer protection, environmental considerations, and a balance between innovation and safety in the use of biocides. Compliance with the BPR is essential for companies seeking to market biocidal products in the European Union.
Every country has certain products that are new for others like certain biocides, which are available in India and not in Europe! Why is that? This is because the availability and approval of biocidal products can vary between regions, and certain products may be marketed differently or have distinct formulations based on regional regulations and market demands. However, one potential factor influencing differences in biocide availability between India and Europe could be the regulatory landscape. Each region has its own set of regulations governing biocides' approval, sale, and use. In Europe, the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) is a comprehensive regulatory framework overseeing biocides. In India, the regulatory framework may differ, and biocides could be subject to the guidelines of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC).
In the quest for hygiene and microbial control, the role of biocides is indispensable across various industries. From industrial processes to agriculture, these chemical agents play a vital role in safeguarding against harmful microorganisms. However, as we stride forward in the pursuit of efficacy, a crucial consideration takes center stage—the environmental impact of biocides.
The famous quote by Benjamin franklin “When the Well’s dry, we know the worth of water” in 1746, nearly 2 centuries ago defines the problems which are prevalent in our current generation. Water pollution occurs when harmful agents like toxic heavy metal ions from industrial waste [ Eg. copper, lead, arsenic], microorganisms or chemicals enter our water reservoirs likes lakes, rivers etc. leading to degradation of water quality and turning it toxic to humans and the environment. Farms are also damaged due to spills and leakages from Wastewater facilities.
Mill Sanitation of a Sugar factory plant is considered as one of the crucial stages during the manufacturing of Commercial Sugar. The issue of Sugarcane Juice Degradation due to growth of harmful micro-bacterial agents and fungi has become a topic of huge concern in the Sugar Industry.
A biocide is a type of chemical that can deter, render harmless or exert a controlling effect on harmful organisms by chemical or biological means. They are industrially important as disinfectants, oxidizing agents and preservatives.
The paper manufacturing industry has microbiological problems due to bacteria, fungi and algae. These problems are due to paper fibers which are suspended in a large volume of recirculating water before being removed by filtration and compacted and dried to form the paper sheet. Contamination may originate from the air, water, recycled pulp & waste water. In the manufacturing process, this can result in the buildup of slime at key points in the process. If uncontrolled, the slime can accumulate and eventually break away, leading to problems such as paper breaks, spray nozzle blockage and discoloration of the finished product.
Currently the world uses lots of technology, where enhanced recovery processes, desulfurization and denitrification of oil are initiated and controlled by microorganisms. The phenomena of microbiological contamination of the oil and natural gas environment represent a broad issue. The negative effect of microorganisms is primarily associated with the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, leading to an increase in oil density, sulfur content andviscosity. These changes cause disruption in oil extraction and processing technology, bringing about significant.
