Characterization of Respirable Aerosols Generated During Routine Laboratory P…

Abstract: Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) and Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) facility lab personnel routinely perform procedures that are capable of producing respirable aerosols. While these procedures are considered safe when performed in the closed environment of a biosafety cabinet (BSC), there are, nevertheless, limited data regarding the nature of the aerosols these procedures produce. This lack …
