What Are the Biohazards at a Crime Scene?

Biohazards are biological materials that pose a risk to the health and safety of living organisms. These biological materials include plants, animals, bacteria, microorganisms, sharps, chemicals or drugs, and waste from animals or plants. Biohazards can be present at crime scenes in various states, depending on the type of crime scene. Robberies or break-ins may involve blood, sharp materials, or dangerous substances while an unattended death can involve bodily fluids, decomposition, drugs or chemicals, or other biohazardous waste.

Biohazards That Can Be Present at Crime Scenes

Whether a biohazard occurred at your home or business, or you experience the tragic discovery of an unattended death, it is important to be aware of the various biohazards.

  • Blood and bodily fluids: This is the most common biohazard found at crime scenes. Blood and bodily fluids may contain infections and pathogens that include Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and other diseases. Bodily fluids can consist of saliva, semen, vaginal fluids, or cerebral spinal fluid.
  • Body tissues and parts: Violent crimes, deaths, or accidents may involve the presence of body tissues or body parts. First responders will mark off the area so loved ones do not have to see these materials, and crime scene cleaners can handle what is left behind after the authorities finish their job.
  • Microbiological waste: This type of biohazard may include specimen cultures, disposable culture dishes, and other contaminated laboratory tools. When crimes occur in medical facilities or laboratories, these may be included in the scene.
  • Chemical contaminants: Drugs and other chemical contaminants can be present at various crime scenes, while industrial chemicals and cleaners may be present when crimes occur at businesses. Chemical contaminants may also include pepper spray or tear gas used to apprehend suspects. The remnants of these substances must be professionally contained and removed from the crime scene.
  • Sharps: At crime scenes that involve drugs, as well as unattended death scenes, there may be sharps present. Sharps biohazards may include needles, scalpels, or other sharp tools or weapons.
