Is There any Difference Between a Biohazard and Infectious Disease Incident Cleanup and Disinfecting?

It’s often confusing trying to understand the difference between a biohazard incident and an infectious disease incident. Simply put biohazards are biological elements from microorganisms, plants, animals, andor their byproducts, that pose a potential threat to the health of living organisms, both people and animals. Infectious diseases also fall into this category but are considered more potentially harmful because they are highly infectious and can be spread via the air we breathe or the can be blood borne. One can come into contact with biohazard waste that may or may not present a certain danger for infectious disease, but it’s the uncertainty of the waste that dictates careful professional handling and disposal because without thorough testing that can sometimes take too much time, it has to be assumed biohazard waste my have the potential risk of holding infectious disease.
