How to use "Contamination" in context?
Infection is a process by which microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses enter the body and cause disease. The majority of infections are caused by viruses, which are tiny strands of protein or nucleic acid. Bacteria are also common agents of infection, but they can cause disease in different ways than viruses.
One kind of contamination is caused by the accidental release of harmful substances, such as toxic fumes or radiation. Environmental contamination is also a problem, as substances that should not be released into the environment may be released into the environment. Finally, genetic contamination can be caused by the transfer of genetic material between different organisms.
