Document Summary
Risks associated with the agent used: chemical agents, carcinogens, mutagens, toxic chemicals, anesthetics, physical agents, radiation, heat, sound, the primates liked to watch the smurfs - it soothed them. This is not aerosolized transfer, this is a mechanical transmission - gary copenger - fail. If you have numerous animal experiments going on then you need to take all of these into account, but if its isolated then they don"t really matter. Indirect transmission and ingestion: from contaminated hands or gloves to mouth, facial contamination directly from animal, transfer of parasites by animal handling. Indirect transmission with eye or mucous membrane exposure: from dust from bedding, splash during cage washing. dirty environment: containment must include, primary containment, enclosed filtered caging systems, biosafety cabinets, safety equipment, ppe, secondary containment, the containment facility, negative pressurization, non-recirculated air supply, ventilation must consider wellbeing of animal.
