Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the statement “the environment would be safer place for human health if all microbes could be eliminated from it” is valid or not.
Introduction:
Microbes are the small living things that are not visible with naked eyes. The microbes are present everywhere (air, water, soil). In the environment, both harmful and beneficial microbes are present. Not all microbes are harmful for humans, but some are also beneficial for humans.
