English term or phrase: biocidal agent
Definition from Science Direct:
Biocides are classified as active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances. These are intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, prevent the action of, or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means.

Example sentence(s):
  • In their paper, ‘Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents’, scientists found that coronaviruses can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62–71 per cent ethanol, 0.5 per cent hydrogen peroxide or 0.1 per cent sodium hypochlorite within one minute. Net Doctor
  • The scientists argued past research has demonstrated “inactivation of coronaviruses by biocidal agents”. Yahoo News
  • “Human-to-human transmissions have been described with incubation times between 2-10 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces. We therefore reviewed the literature on all available information about the persistence of human and veterinary coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces as well as inactivation strategies with biocidal agents used for chemical disinfection, e.g. in healthcare facilities.” Diagnostic Imaging
