Serving All of Los Angeles
Human body fluids or tissues potentially containing infectious pathogens, containing or producing recombinant DNA or containing/producing harmful toxins are biohazardous materials. Biohazards also include medical waste such as used needles, bandages, scalpels or even microscope slides. Clothing and personal items covered in biohazardous fluids should also be considered biohazards capable of infecting people with disease-causing microorganisms.
Dangers of Removing Biohazardous Materials
The ineffectiveness of “wiping up” blood, urine and other body fluids using bleach or other household cleaning solutions is compounded by the fact that pathogens, especially viruses, can survive outside the body for several weeks and continue infecting others. For example, two pathogens known for causing severe diarrhea and life-threatening dehydration called norovirus and C. difficile can live for several weeks on fabrics and hard surfaces. The staphylococcus aureus bacteria producing MRSA infections survive even longer on many surface types because MRSA thrives in dry environments.
Chlorine compounds and alcohols you can purchase OTC may not eradicate 100 percent of all pathogens infecting biohazardous fluids and other materials. Prions, bacterial spores, non-enveloped viruses and gram-negative bacteria are all highly resistant to chemicals many people think will effectively kill pathogens. Unfortunately, this is not true.
