Does lab equipment need to be decontaminated prior to disposal, repair or servicing?

Yes. See BIO-008 and BIO-009 for a procedure and decontamination certificate of equipment contaminated with biological agents. More.

Yes. Equipment shall be decontaminated with a tuberculocidal disinfectant such as 10% bleach solution, allowing at least 15 minutes of contact time. Note: Bleach is very corrosive to most metal surfaces, including stainless steal.

Equipment should be wiped down with water to prevent pitting of the surface after decontaminating with bleach. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
