Pathogen Containment

Pathogen containment involves implementing measures to prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, to people, animals, or the environment. This includes controlling access to laboratories, using protective clothing and equipment, following strict hygiene procedures, and properly disposing of contaminated materials. The goal is to minimize the risk of infection or contamination during research, healthcare, or clinical activities. Effective containment ensures safety by isolating hazards and preventing accidental release, safeguarding public health and the environment.
