biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) labs

Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) labs are highly secure facilities designed to research and handle the most dangerous pathogens that pose a severe threat to human life, such as the Ebola and Marburg viruses. These labs have strict safety measures, including airtight sealing, specialized air filtration, and full-body protective suits to prevent any risk of exposure or accidental release. Access is highly restricted, and personnel undergo rigorous training. BSL-4 labs enable scientists to study deadly viruses safely, advancing understanding and treatment options while preventing potential outbreaks.
