<abstract>A simple procedure is proposed in order to quantify the tradeoff between a loss suffered from an illness due to exposure to a microbial pathogen and a loss due to a toxic effect, perhaps a different illness, induced by a disinfectant employed to reduce the microbial exposure. Estimates of these two types of risk as a function of disinfectant dose and  their associated relative losses provide information for the estimation of the optimum dose of disinfectant that minimizes the local expected loss</abstract>
