A chemical / biological hazard protection suit has two pants legs which extend to a midsection below waist level. An opening in the midsection defines an outlet from the suit interior. A waste collector has an upper segment which is fixed to the midsection and which adjoins an intermediate segment which is in turn connected to a waste receptacle. A first seal is between the upper segment and the intermediate segment, and a second seal is between the intermediate segment and the waste receptacle. A region of weakened material encircles the intermediate segment between the seals. A wearer discharges waste through the outlet and past the two open seals into the receptacle, whereupon both seals are closed, and the receptacle is detached from the upper segment, leaving both the receptacle and the suit sealed. Prior to use, the waste receptacle may be retained within a pocket on one of the pants legs.

A mail container with a contaminant indicator mechanism in the form of a perimeter edge viewing window is provided for verifying that a mail item received does not contain a biological hazard in the form of a loose particulate such as powders, granules, and the like. In order to attract the attention of the mail recipient that particulate matter may be contained in a mail container, an area having a quantity of clear, adhesive on only a portion of one or more of the transparent perimeter edge viewing windows so that the mail recipient or delivery person could immediately identify the existence of particulate matter contamination.

Disclosed are a rigorous method and apparatuses for the comprehensive analysis of complex mixtures of organic molecules, specifically biopolymers, in some embodiments predominantly mixtures of proteins, which in some embodiments ultimately serve to obtain the information constituting a biomarker, or similar biological signature, or to monitor health or ageing.In some embodiments such signatures or patterns may indicate the presence, stage, or type of a disease, the expected or actual response to drugs. In some other embodiments such a method and apparatuses may serve to monitor and / or control cell development. In some other embodiments such a method and apparatuses may serve to develop and use means to measure, influence, or control the speed or degree of aging of cells or organisms.In some embodiments such a method and apparatuses may serve to determine at least in part the nature of biological hazards, bioterrorism threats, or biological weapons, including those based on bacteria and viruses. In some embodiments such a method and apparatuses may serve to select, develop, and or optimize countermeasures to biological hazards, bioterrorism threats, or biological weapons, including those based on bacteria and viruses.In other embodiments such a method and apparatuses may be used to assess the expected performance level of a human or animal for a specific task or for a class or problems.

The invention, which belongs to the biological hazard prevention and control field, relates to a biological hazard monitoring, predicting and optimal controlling system for emergency (BMPOSE). The system is the Internet of things and connects two subsystems which comprise: a biohazard emergency monitoring system (BEMS) and a biological hazard predicting and optimal controlling system for emergency (BPOSE). The BEMS and the BPOSE carry out coupling and relevance of information through the Internet of things and complete the control of the biological hazard through data processing in the Internet of things. The system combines information acquisition, transmission, analysis, prediction and issuing. By using the system, technical difficulties of seamless coupling, such as emergency monitoring, predicting, decision support and the like, can be solved.
