Health and safety
Chicagoland Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
