Safety level of lab Used for
Biosafety Level 1 (BSL 1) Study infectious agents or toxins not
known to consistently cause diseases in
healthy adults
Biosafety Level 2 (BSL 2) Study moderate-risk infectious agents or
toxins that pose a risk if accidentally
inhaled, swallowed, or exposed to the
skin.
Biosafety Level 3 (BSL 3) Study infectious agents or toxins that may
be transmitted through the air and cause
potentially lethal infection through
inhalation exposure
