Aerosol Transmissible Disease Program

The State of California adopted the Aerosol Transmissible Disease (ATD) standard to protect health care workers, researchers, emergency first responders and others at risk of contracting aerosol transmissible diseases due to their work activities. UCSC researchers working with any of the listed agents must contact the Campus Biosafety Officer to discuss development of a laboratory specific ATD plan.
