What are the Risks Associated with Biological Contaminants?
Exposure to biological contaminants can lead to a range of health issues, from mild infections to severe diseases. In healthcare settings, the risks are heightened due to the presence of vulnerable populations, including the elderly, immunocompromised patients, and those with chronic conditions. Contaminants can lead to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and, in severe cases, patient mortality.
