A biological hazard can also be defined as a “bio-hazard”. More specifically it is a by-product from an organism that can cause serious harm to human beings, for example, viruses, toxins and medical wastes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States has divided bio-hazards into four basic levels. A level 1 bio-hazard poses the least risk while a level four poses the greatest. Present below are a list of the different types of biological hazards: Bio-hazard Level 1: This hazard level consists mainly of bacteria and other microorganisms like Bacillus subtilis, canine hepatitis, Escherichia coli etc. The precautions that need to be taken at this level are washing one's hands with anti-bacterial soap and other disinfectants. Bio-hazard Level 2: This level of hazard consists of those forms of bacteria and viruses that cause only mild disease as Lyme disease, salmonella, mumps, hepatitis A, B, and C, influenza A, measles, scrapie and dengue fever.

Dr. Hazelwood stated that,"Dilution is not the Solution to Pollution”. Hence, disposal methods should always be treated with great caution.

It is also legal, for large generators to recycle huge amounts of wastes. The materials that are commonly used by many conservators can be grouped into 5 chemical classes, they are, detergents, acids and alkalies, solvents, bleaches and ethyl ether. These classes must never be mixed together, for they are incompatible and hence are a safety hazard. Firstly, Solvents should be collected in glass vessels for glass is inert and will not rust through if water is mixed in with the waste. Dumping water soluble solvents down the drain is not acceptable. On the othe...
