Thanks Jo Anna.

I'm familiar with the Bloodborne Pathogen standard. There is guidance with respect to handling potentially biohazardous materials and processes that produce aerosols, but it's a bit vague.

Best,
Kathy

You might look at OSHA's Bloodborne pathogen standard.

So far I'm finding that aerosolization of pobio liquids is not considered a likely route of distributing viral particles (Hepatitis, HIV, etc), at least regarding existing technologies (such as dialysis) that have been studied. Does anyone have experience with this issue or know of specific regulations or sources of information that relate to this issue?
