Blog #8 Protection and Prevention Against the Hot Zone

There are a lot of protection for the hot zone biocontainment facility starting from before you even enter the building. When you reach the site of the hot zone biocontainment facility the first protection you encounter is a guard at the front gate. Then when you go through the gate you can see the building is a protection itself. The building is yellow and made of concret and almost windowless. At the top of the building you would see a filtered vent pipes for the bacteria fumes. When you enter the building you are blocked again by a guard and is only allowed to enter if you have a badge. The next sign of protection is as you go further into the building you have to show your ID badge. As you go in even further you can see that the rooms are air pressured which means that the air would not flow out only flow in. There are also heavy windows. In addition, there are also the protection against the viruses inside the biocontainment chamber. Once you get in you have to go through the locker room where you put on the space suit and three layers of gloves. To protect your feet you put on socks, once you get into another room the room prevents viruses from escaping at all. On the wall is sticky gooey stuff or epoxy glue in case there are holes or cracks on the wall and over the electrical outlets so nothing can escape through the electrical lines. Also over your socks there are sealed boots. On the freezer that holds the deadly est virus there are first padlocks then alarms. On top of the alarms there are biohazard flowers and sticky tape to prevent the virus from escaping. Futhermore, the freezers themperature is -100 something degrees to keep the virus inactive.
