Bio SoCal crews have been and continue to be very busy cleaning up scenes contaminated with biohazards throughout Oxnard.

During just one day in January, we spent the day helping two families after losing their loved ones: one due to a homicide and the other because of an unattended death. Then, just after a late dinner, an evening call came in to help clean up a public street after a horrific bicycle accident had taken place in the late afternoon. While a semi truck made a right turn through an intersection locally known in Oxnard as “Five Points,” the driver hit a 75-year-old bicyclist traveling in the intersection. The driver of the semitruck immediately pulled over to the right to find the bicycle in pieces underneath his truck and the rider passed away. After police arrived at the scene to investigate, they determined neither speed nor alcohol were contributing factors in the accident. The reason for the accident is still under investigation and no charges have been filed to the best of our knowledge.

Once our team was called to the scene of the accident for biohazard cleanup to remove the blood and other bodily fluids from the area, we dispatched a crew to clean up after this unfortunate accident and disinfect the asphalt. Working quickly and with great respect to the victim, we minimized any further damage to the public street and removed all potentially dangerous bacteria and viruses.

Be vigilant as you travel

As biohazard cleaners, we see first-hand the long-lasting pain one accident can cause. In the flash of a single moment, countless lives are changed forever. The streets in Oxnard can be very busy especially during the morning and evening commuting house. So, while you’re traveling this spring, whether by car, bicycle, or walking, be extra vigilant of your surroundings. In a car or truck, check your mirrors, see who is around you and who is coming your way, and never text and drive at the same time. If you are on a bicycle, always wear your helmet, wear bright reflective clothing, and assume you’re invisible to any motorists in the area. It only takes one glance down, one missed sighting of someone coming your way to change your life or the life of another. If we all stay vigilant and practice precautions while traveling, more of us will get to where we are going safely.

Bioremediation is the use of either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms or other forms of life to consume and break down environmental pollutants, in order to clean up a polluted site.

Whether you are dealing with an unattended death, crime, suicide, hoarding, or any other situation when bio hazards need to be remediated in Southern California, we here at BioSoCal are ready to help you clean up the aftermath with safe, plant-based products that will protect both you and the earth.

Bioremediation Fits into Two Categories

When people talk about bioremediation, there are two main categories they are referring to. The first type has to do with remediating biological hazards such as blood and other bodily fluids and the second has to do with remediating toxins from the environment such as oil, chemicals, and other pollutants. While these two types  of bioremediation cleanup share the same name, the training, licenses, and qualifications for each are quite different.

Here at BioSoCal, we specialize in the first type of bioremediation: bio remediation of biological hazards and DO NOT handle bioremediation for environmental contamination.

1. Bioremediation of Biological Hazards

Bio SoCal specializes in remediating biohazardous material like blood, bodily fluids, feces, and urine resulting from situations such as:

• unattended deaths
• crime scenes
• suicides
• hoarding
• Industrial Accidents

among many other situations when biohazards have been left behind and need to be remediated in your Southern Californian home or business. Whatever the contaminant, we here at BioSoCal are ready to help you clean up the aftermath with safe, plant-based products that are safe not only for the environment, but also for you, your family, and your employees. With BioSoCal, you can rest easy knowing your property will not only be safe to use, but will be safe for years to come.

Our experienced staff not only know how to clean what is seen on the surface, but also how to locate and bioremediate the bacteria, and odor growing unseen underneath the surface. With our industrial-grade cleaners, professional equipment, and personal protective equipment, we will clean, sanitize, and deodorize the contaminated area so your home or business is restored to its original condition.

2. Bioremediation of Environmental Contamination

This second type of bioremediation is used when cleaning up environmental pollutants  such as oil, sewage, or chemicals from surrounding soil, air, water, and other plant-based materials. To remediate the area, living microorganisms which naturally process and break down such pollutants are introduced into the environment or the environment is altered in such a way as to encourage the living organisms already present. By using this method, bioremediators not only reduce the amount of pollutants but also the impact of the pollutants on the local area.

This method has been used on:

• Oil spills including the Exxon Valdez oil spill
• Groundwater contaminations
• Soil contaminations

Using living microorganisms for environmental bioremediation requires special training, licenses, and permits. Bio So Cal DOES NOT handle environmental remediations.
