Biohazard sorting (again)

Hi All
I believe there are, somewhere in the world, BD sorters that have been
modified for negative pressure aerosol containment.
(somewhere in Europe, I'm told)

Can anyone point me to someone who has done this, and/or how it was done?

I've tested increasing suction on the normal waste collection and concluded
it won't do.

I'm caught in the old immovable object and the irresistible force dilemma,
between the personal need for safety, the practical need for functionality,
and the scientific need for sorting nasty things that I'd rather not.
There must be a way....

	Many Thanks, Joseph.
