Kathy - I think you need to give the list a bit of insight into "POBIO" - I was assuming you mean the Mitsubishi term for the resins/chemicals/materials harvested from "biological sources" (which is a far cry from what most of us usually think of as "Potentially Biohazardous" - still - does require some consideration of best practices for recombinant DNA/infectious agents research...

Hi Patty,

I'm trying to determine whether spraying pobio materials as a testing/mfg process would present any significant health risk or require any specific containment device due to possible aerosolization of viral particles (Hepatitis, HIV, etc).

Best,
Kathy

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?
