Abstract
A system and method for detecting bio-hazardous particulates in mail handling systems includes an air intake hood that connects to a biohazard sensing suite which, in turn, connects through an outlet duct to a filter, adsorber, or scrubber that removes any bio-hazardous material prior to exhausting the air. An air mover is located in the outlet duct and moves the air into the air intake hood into the biohazard sensing suite . The biohazard sensing suite detects the presence of any undesired bio-hazardous material.
