Biohazards vs. Hazardous Materials
It's easy enough to confuse biohazard with the terms used for hazardous material. Logically enough, in many ways, these two terms are synonomous. As used in crime scene cleanup, biohazards have a strictly biological connontation, meaning. Hazardous material, abbreviated HazMat, typically have a manufactured composition. Although, nature broduced hazardous materials from volcanic action and other adverse natural processes. Sanke venom qualifies as hazardous materia, speaking of snyonyms, but its origins belong to biological processes. As a consequence we call it "biohazardous." However, as used here, biohazard has an even stricter connotation, meaning.
"Hazmat," hazardous material, dangerous goods, whatever you call it, call it "man made" in most cases.
Biohazards belong to nature or God, whatever your preference. HazMat, an abbreviation for hazardous material, may be something simple like bleach. Then again, it might be something complicated, like plutonium or yellow cake uranium.
I return to my exposure of local government fraud in crime scene cleanup on following days. For now, I write about our most national government's criminality.
