iodestroy
iodestroy is a term used in some scientific discussions to describe a hypothetical or informal class of iodine-based disinfection and decontamination processes that achieve rapid destruction of microorganisms and organic contaminants through iodine-mediated chemistry. It is not a formal chemical name or widely adopted term in standard reference works, but is used to reference the overall antimicrobial capability of iodine chemistry in speculative contexts.
Mechanism centers on iodine species, including I2 and triiodide, penetrating microbial cell walls and membranes, oxidizing
Applications discussed in theoretical or practical discussions include drinking-water disinfection, surface sanitization, wound care, and rapid
Limitations and safety considerations include potential skin and mucous membrane irritation, thyroid effects from excessive or
