Routes of exposure to biohazards.
Biohazards in the lab can enter the body through contaminated needles (parenteral inoculation), the consumption of food or application of make-up in the lab (ingestion), the exposure of biohazardous aerosols (inhalation), and contact of skin and mucous membrane with contaminations. Personal protective equipment and biosafety cabinets are put in place to block exposure of researchers to biohazardous agents.
