Inspection and Quarantine
Inspection and Quarantine refers to the processes used to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful pests, diseases, and contaminants. This is especially important for agriculture, public health, and the environment. Inspections are conducted at borders, ports, and airports to check goods, plants, and animals for any signs of infestation or disease.
If any risks are identified during inspections, quarantine measures may be implemented. This involves isolating affected items or organisms to prevent their spread. Quarantine can apply to imported goods, livestock, or even people, ensuring that potential threats are managed effectively before they can impact local ecosystems or economies.
