In 2050 ...
It is predicted that there will be 9.5 billion humans on the planet in 2050, with nearly 90 million more people per year. This increase in population goes hand in hand with the increment of microbial risk. The change in lifestyle also accentuates the risk of contamination on a daily basis: business trips, public transport, eating food from many different places, eating with our hands, etc.
Who are the most vulnerable?
?
Everybody is likely to contract any infection but some people are more likely than others to contract one; Babies, Elderly or disabled people, and Pregnant women are amongst the most sensitive groups. That is the reason why we should be specially careful with correctly disinfecting any areas in our homes with the right products.
If you have pets at home
Pets (cats, dogs, guinea pig, goldfish, ...) are part our everyday lives. They live in our houses and sleep sometimes in our bed. But pets can be carriers of many pathogens or allergens which can cause more harmful illnesses for human beings. Also, the presence of an animal at home impose some elementary hygiene rules, effective for the pet itself, for the family circle and for the place they live.
