Trauma Scene Biohazards
Death scenes are typically contaminated by blood, tissue, feces, urine, and other bodily fluids. After death, toxins develop and thrive in the bodily fluids and tissue. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, or MRSA may also be present at the death scene. During decomposition, fluids are released from the body and can contaminate a larger portion of the scene. The toxins and pathogens in these fluids will contaminate anything they come into contact with: carpet, flooring, paint, wallpaper, fabrics, window coverings, clothing, books, papers, even appliances. As decomposition continues, pungent, toxic odors will develop that further contaminate the scene.
