The Risks of Biohazards
The presence of biohazards can lead to significant health risks if not handled properly:
- Infectious Diseases: Pathogens present in blood, bodily fluids, and waste can cause serious infections.
- Toxic Exposure: Chemicals and waste products can be harmful or fatal if inhaled, ingested, or contacted.
