The laboratory also supports the biosafety and biohazard spill response programs for the province.
The hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.
However, radioactive iodine is a disproportionate biohazard because the thyroid gland concentrates iodine.
This would lower the risk for biohazards during human exploration or sample return.
The minimal risk level of containment was intended for experiments in which the biohazards could be accurately assessed and were expected to be minimal.
Ballast water can also be a source of biohazards, and one researcher calls it one the great ecological disasters of all time.
Recently the facility has been upgraded and secured using modern cameras, motion sensors, fences, and biohazard containment systems.
Proposals for serious structural reforms, national and/or regional border controls, and a single co-ordinated system of biohazard response abounded.
