| description | Abstract Background Nowadays, engineers face challenges in developing novel technologies to find environmental and industrial solutions to address microbial contamination Microbes and treated objects differ significantly in their ability to tolerate the decontamination methods. Main text This work introduces a comprehensive review of recent trends of microbial decontamination for occupational, industrial, and domestic applications to help design and optimize suitable decontamination approaches. Conclusions Decontamination methods vary in their effectiveness towards microorganisms as sanitizing is the least effective decontamination method; disinfectants and antiseptics provide a higher level of decontamination. However, the best decontamination method is sterilizing. Hence, Microbial decontamination methods must be designed according to the level of microbes resistivity and the sensibility of the treated material. Graphical abstract |
