Biohazard Cleanup - Steri-Clean® South Dakota
Biohazards are dangerous to the environment, animals, and humans. Biohazards include blood, body fluids, some types of body tissue, animal and human waste, pathological waste, microbiological waste, and sharps waste that are contaminated with infectious substances. Essentially, a biohazard is any type of waste that can cause harm.
Biohazard Cleanup Services We Offer:
Body fluids can include blood, urine, vomit, feces, and tissue. These are often found in cars, ambulances, hospitals, and on the scene of an accident. It’s vital to clean these up as soon as possible to avoid infecting others. Hepatitis B, for example, can live in dried blood for up to seven days. The only way to stop transmission of the microorganisms that spread is to clean them up with solvents that are strong enough to kill them. No matter how good a cleaner you may be, a strong EPA approved disinfectant must be used to ensure the microorganisms are fully killed off.
Animal and Human Waste - Steri-Clean® South Dakota
Animal and human waste is not only unsightly, but it can pollute the environment, the groundwater, and be dangerous to humans and animals. It can contain bacterial infections like cholera, dysentery, and salmonella. Viral infections can also be transmitted from waste, with the two most common infections being norovirus and rotavirus.
Pathological/Microbiological/Sharps Waste
Pathological waste refers to any material that is infected with pathogens, such as animal bedding or anything that contains blood or body fluids, such as blood vials. Microbiological waste is predominantly found in hospitals and includes substances such as cultures and specimens. Sharps are used needles that can still have living pathogens on them and, if handled or touched, pose a health risk to humans.
At Steri-Clean® South Dakota, we only use EPA approved standards and practices to clean biohazards. We understand the necessity to clean them immediately, making sure the contaminated area is safe, with all potential hazards being disposed of properly.
