Biological hazards, also known as biohazards, refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. This can include medical waste or samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can affect human health. It can also include substances harmful to other animals.
The term and its associated symbol are generally used as a warning, so that those potentially exposed to the substances will know to take precautions. The biohazard symbol was developed in 1966 by Charles Baldwin, an environmental-health engineer working for the Dow Chemical Company on the containment products.
It is used in the labeling of biological materials that carry a significant health risk, including viral samples and used hypodermic needles.
Bio hazardous agents are classified for transportation by UN number:
Category A, UN 2814 – Infectious substance, affecting humans: An infectious substance in a form capable of causing permanent disability or life-threatening or fatal disease in otherwise healthy humans or animals when exposure to it occurs.
Biohazard, subtitled The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World - Told from Inside by the Man Who Ran It, is the title of a 1999 book by former Sovietbiological warfare researcher Ken Alibek that purports to expose the former Soviet Union's extensive covert biological weapons program.
The book is a semi-romanticized auto-biography depicting the life of a bioweapons developer. It was first published by Hutchinson in the United Kingdom in 1999, then re-released by Arrow Books in 2000.
For the most part, the book's assertions recently have been confirmed by U.S. and other Westernmicrobiological and bioweapons authorities, while site-visiting many of the laboratory and weapons production sites and cataloguing the pathogens.

A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism. The causal study of disease is called pathology. Disease is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by factors originally from an external source, such as infectious disease, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. In humans, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with a disease can alter one's perspective on life, and one's personality.
Disease is the second studio album by the industrial/horror techno band G.G.F.H.. This album saw the band take a more techno approach, pushing aside the sludgier sound of their earlier material. The album features three of the tracks recorded for the Reality EP, (Room 213, Dead Men Don’t Rape, Real), in a slightly different form.
I found a way out, a solution inside From the things that are bathering me It's been too long since I felt htis way From your sad life I broke free Don't ever think that you ripped me apart And walked away with a price Cause you can not penetrate my cold heart ANd fill it with your disease I wonder now how I lived before Deaf, dumb, dead and blind I moved my life forward and I'm never goin' back And I've left you far behind There's a lot of things that I've now realized From the way that you treated me It's bullshit and it's hatred you epitomized You were blessed to have been with me Chorus: You filled my life with your disease I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees Disease is flowing through my veins I'd rather die right now than live in pain Lead Looking around at the past and the present Things are so much better now Your misery wanted my company But you can't keep a good man down Whatever made me want to be with you Is something I can't understand Cuz if I never saw your fucking face again I'd die a happy man
