I was reading protocols today that are based on these recommendations. One that interested me was the packaging of medical waste suspected of containing Ebola. Soak it with chlorine and put it in a specialized bag. Seal that bag and cover that with chlorine. Put it in another bag with chlorine in it and seal that then cover that bag with chlorine. Put it in a special barrel lined with another bag with absorbant in the bottom to contain all the chlorine etc. that might leak. Then you have to apply for a special permit to transport it.

If you are weird like me and find this interesting. http://phmsa.dot.gov/pv_obj_cache/pv...ance_final.pdf
