What Are Biohazards?

Biohazards are dangerous organisms such as bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, and toxins from an organic source. Biohazardous materials can exist anywhere and are a serious health risk to people when eaten, inhaled, or come into contact with skin.

Different Types of Biohazardous Waste*

• Liquid Biohazardous Waste:  Liquid waste including blood, blood products, and any bodily fluids from humans and animals.
• Sharp Biohazardous Waste: Instruments contaminated with biological material that are sharp enough to puncture the skin. Examples include needles, syringes, microscope slides, and broken tubes.
• Solid Biohazardous Waste: Contaminated biohazardous materials that are not capable of breaking human skin. They include gloves, towels, and plastic ware such as pipettes and specimen vials.
• Pathological: Animal and human body tissue, organs, and bones.
