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

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.

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