A biological substance is a organism or toxin released into the atmosphere by accident or intentionally. These substances can kill or severely disable humans and living things.
Biohazard symbols are commonly seen on products and chemicals that can cause safety and health concerns. You will also see these symbols on laboratories and other facilities. These symbols are apart of the warning system designed to alert people to take precautions where necessary when handling these substances and when dealing with new viruses and diseases. There are different levels pertaining to biohazards ranging from a low level one up to the highest level four.
