| Bacteriostatic: |
A chemical or substance that inhibits bacteria growth, but it not necessary is lethal to humans. Mitigation Note: If the bacteriostatic material is applied on a large field of organic matter, such as a sewage contamination in a building, the bacteriostatic chemical dissipates and becomes inactive in the presence of heavy bacteria growth. Bacteriostatic chemicals should only be applied on a relatively clean area for the bacteriostat to be effective. |
