Galveston National BSL-4 Laboratory and Hurricane Ike ~SEMP~A biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory
is one in which infectious agents are exotic with potential for aerosol transmission and for which no vaccine or therapy currently exists.
These agents pose a high risk of exposure and infection to laboratory personnel, the community, and the environment. Work practices and safety equipment are complete isolation of the laboratory worker from aerosolized infectious materials through working in a Class III BSC or in a full-body, air-supplied positive-pressure personnel suit. Facilities are generally a separate building or completely isolated zone with complex, specialized ventilation requirements and waste management systems to prevent release of viable agents to the environment. Representative pathogens and microorganisms include (but are no limited to) Ebola, Marburg or Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever viruses, anthrax, plague, typhus, West Nile virus, influenza, and drug-resistant tuberculosis.
