A Biohazard is any substance or stuff that is dangerous for humans or the atmosphere impacting the natural conditions. Biohazard when comes in contact with atmosphere generates a special substance which requires exceptional handling to dump in atmosphere.
As per scientists, the biohazard stuff can be bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal, so any substance that can possibly be infected with those agents and is measured to be likely biohazard. Thus biohazards are classified according to the way they are generated, and also according to the way they put their impact.
Various reports have concluded that there are 4 levels in which Biohazard can be classified:
Stage 1: Bacteria and viruses can lead to disease such as Chicken poxes, the reason of at level one as it easily curable.
Stage 2: Causing mild disease for humans, e.g. mumps and measles: The reason for level 2, the effect may long for 10-15 days.
Stage 3: Such Biohazards can cause fatal disease in human e.g. Venezuelan equine encephalitis, SARS virus. It has been advocated as Level 3 because, the impact may linger on for over 6 month and it requires special caring by hospitals.
Stage 4: Exclusive viruses that cause severe to fatal disease in humans, and for which vaccines or other treatments are not available e.g. Dengue fever. This is the most severe level and if we don’t handle the situation with most priority it will only lead to loss of life.
Biohazard Cleaning Services: In process to lessen and eliminate the risk of infection these services are provided by specialist as these biohazard carry viruses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Biohazard Waste such as contaminated blood, urine and infected syringes are not evident to the amateur eyes, performing the cleanup is really complicated and the danger of exposure to infection multiplies.
Flood Water/Dripping Water Damage Cleanup: Water can be anytime being a worst biohazard if infected with any virus. Virus happens to multiply most in moist area as it is perfect breeding place for them. Contaminated water can have a devastating effect. It is of utmost important that the area in the premises are evaluated immediately to remove the water logging and draining of all water from the exposed items and areas is executed swiftly. The area should be professionally ensured that the area and equipment is cleaned and disinfected to reinstate the old state.
Sewage Waste: The most awful smell is generated with the highest amount of bio hazards as all the substances generated from industries, human wastes, and dead animals are left for combustion in it which generates bacteria and viruses. The danger of exposure from unknown chemicals such as solvents, carcinogens and pesticides which are left from industries is extremely soaring. Spills from sewage gutters can extend quickly as they are generally maintained on elevated land so it is important that any leakages from such sources should be covered and minimized quickly and efficiently to lessen and contain the amount of damage. To wrap up, we should all get the area disinfected.
