Among these micro-organisms, several types can be identified, such as: bacteria; fungi and viruses; single and multicellular parasites; animal vectors used as intermediate hosts.
Each of these agents is characterised by properties that, taken together, also determine its degree of dangerousness: it is on this basis that a proper classification of biological agents takes place. These properties are listed below:
Biological agents are then classified into four groups of increasing hazard, which are analysed in the table below.
Where the application of collective prevention and protection measures does not allow the elimination of all risks (so called residual risks remain), it is necessary to adopt specific Individual Protection Devices (PPE) to prevent the different modes of infection.
Giornata Mondiale della Terra 2022 Dalla prima Giornata Mondiale della Terra nel 1970 il movimento per il futuro del pianeta ha fatto passi da gigante. Eppure, purtroppo, i problemi legati ai rifiuti e all'inquinamento ambientale stanno aumentando. In certe aree respirare è diventato dannoso per la salute. La nostra casa sta soffrendo.

With a filtering capacity of more than 94% for FFP2 and more than 99% for FFP3, the new BLS 502 and BLS 503 masks are DPI without valves, CE certified according to European regulation 2016/425 and technical standard EN 149: 2001, able to protect users in the event of exposure to solid and/or liquid non-volatile particles (dust, fumes, mists) and to block the dispersion of viruses both incoming and outgoing. They are, in fact, sealed on the face and manufactured with a "welding” process, without seams and perforations on the fabric from which micro particles could pass, thus creating a barrier during exhaling, protecting the environment from the user of the mask. These masks are therefore ideal for use in the food & beverage and medical sectors, as well as in all work environments where contamination by the user must be avoided.
