MGY277H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Poliovirus, Hepa, Iris Recognition
Document Summary
The neidl has yet to open despite being completed several years ago. It"s built within a community and so there are community oppositions and legal ramifications to its opening. First is an iris scan to put you in the system, second is similar to an airport scanning procedure. Must be a certain distance back, perimeter fence, and other protections from keeping vehicles and people from entering. Vent space for air handling (lots to them for that) Withstands a 15 000 pound going at 55 mph from driving through. The rooms are filled with vaporized h2o2 (or formaldehyde) and the walls have to be constructed to prevent any of that material from leaking. Through a chemical shower (to shower the special suits you had on) They have three air compressors to supply air to the bsl-4/ chemturion /positive pressure personnel suits. A lot of redundancy just in case.
