What is a level 4 lab?
My lab is on the 7th floor - does that make it a level 7 lab?

Labs dealing with biological hazards and infectious disease are classified into 4 levels.
Biosafety Level 4 is the highest, and deals with the really nasty shit that have no vaccine or cure and very high mortality rates, like Ebola or Marburg, and the workers have to wear the full biohazard suits and breathing equipment.

I'm really glad
my lab's on the ground floor. :-)

We do have some dangerous stuff there, mind you. HF is the worst. Nasty shit.
