Understanding blood contamination risks involves recognizing immediate health and safety concerns, why professional intervention is critical, and potential long-term property damage risks.
Understanding Biological Hazards
Blood is more than just a stain; it is a potential carrier of dangerous pathogens that can pose significant health risks. Carried within the blood of an infected person, these pathogens are shed into the world when an infected person’s blood comes into contact with anything else.
Bloodborne pathogens can live for several days “outside,” so to speak—their living hosts quite dead and gritty. What you can’t see can kill you. At Crime Scene Services INC, we understand the critical nature of blood contamination.
If you’re handling blood, bodily fluids, or chemical contamination, you’re creating significant health hazards that necessitate top-of-the-line equipment and training to manage safely. These pathogens are very mobile, transmitting through even the tiniest of droplets.
Structural Damage Beyond What You See
Blood doesn’t just pool on surfaces; it penetrates deeply into highly porous materials like wood, carpeting, and drywall. Those long-struck surfaces can absorb contamination and hold it in for the long term, creating a serious health risk.
All that absorbed blood and its associated pathogens could be coming into constant contact with the buildings’ inhabitants. The materials that are so good at holding in blood are also putting the structures themselves at risk.
