What is the process of an anthrax survey?
A professional anthrax survey typically involves:
- Site assessment – Identifying materials that may contain anthrax spores.
- Sampling – Carefully collecting material samples (e.g., plaster, insulation) under controlled conditions.
- Laboratory analysis – Testing for Bacillus anthracis spores.
- Risk evaluation – Determining the level of contamination and potential exposure risk.
- Recommendations – Providing guidance on safe handling, remediation, or removal if contamination is found.
