Listing BSL-3 Sites

Surely it is a fool's errand to include a list of BLS-3 labs, given that the start of this section indicates that there are over 1000 in the US alone. Why not make the list of facilities only those with BSL-4 facilities? This would be an actually possible task and would may resolve the factual inaccuracy complaint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.51.113 (talk • contribs) 2012-08-24T14:29:56‎

Out of curiosity...

...why not put samples in an isolated "box" and use robotic arms to handle the lab equipment? The box and equipment might be made of a self-disinfecting material to minimize risk of infection. 03:24, 9 December 2016 (UTC)32ieww (talk) 32ieww (talk) 03:24, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Is biosafety level 0 a real thing?

Hi, I'm a biotech major, and I was surprised how the article mentioned BSL-0 without source. I followed the link 2 to CDC, and followed the handbook here: https://www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/index.htm I saw no references of biosafety level 0 on that guideline. I've also never learned or heard about biosafety level 0, and biosafety level 1 seems to cover anything that may go under biosafety level 0, as it includes non-pathogenic microbes. Biosafety level 0 is also not mentioned under "Levels" section, which leads me to believe that BSL-0 isn't a real thing.

Can anyone else confirm this and make appropriate edits? I don't want to hastily make a judgment based on possibly incomplete information.
