EtBr threat level

The Lab requires an Endy Lab Security Advisory System to provide a comprehensive and effective means to disseminate information regarding the risk of new EtBr spills to lab, personel, and to the American people. Such a system would provide warnings in the form of a set of graduated "Threat Conditions" that would increase as the amount of EtBr spilt increases. At each Threat Condition, Lab members and agencies would implement a corresponding set of "Protective Measures", or "paper towels soaked in Ethanol" to further reduce vulnerability or increase response capability during a period of heightened alert.

The EtBr spill security advisory level today is -
HIGH
