kontamináciou

Kontaminácia is a term used in Slovak, referring to the process or state of being contaminated. It describes the introduction of harmful or unwanted substances into a substance, environment, or organism. In environmental science, it commonly relates to pollution, such as soil, water, or air contamination caused by industrial waste, chemicals, or pollutants. For example, mining activities may lead to soil contamination with heavy metals, while agricultural runoff can contaminate water sources with nitrates. In medicine, kontaminácia denotes the introduction of pathogens, bacteria, or other contaminants into a patient’s body, often occurring during medical procedures if proper sterilization is not maintained. Such contamination can result in infections or adverse health outcomes. Across various fields, contamination poses risks to health, environmental integrity, and product safety. Mitigation strategies, including regulatory controls, monitoring systems, and best practices, are essential to prevent and address kontaminácia.
