Products containing antiseptic reach what level of decontamination?

Sterilization
Disinfection
Sanitation
Quarantine

The correct answer is: Sanitation

Sanitation is the lowest level of decontamination among the choices given. Sterilization is the highest and involves the complete elimination of all forms of microbial life. Disinfection is the second highest level and involves the reduction of microorganisms to a safer level, but not necessarily completely eliminating them. Quarantine does not involve decontamination, but instead refers to keeping individuals or items in isolation to prevent the spread of disease. Therefore, while antiseptic products can help to sanitize a surface or object, they are not strong enough to achieve sterilization or disinfection.
