Mission
The site aims to make biorisk concepts more understandable and to facilitate access to institutional sources. The content is designed for a general Francophone audience, without assuming prior scientific knowledge, and structured around clearly defined issues.
Our goal is to provide useful benchmarks for reading health news, understanding a preventive measure or preparing a discussion with a professional. We avoid the alarmist tone, absolute promises and individual conclusions drawn from general information.
Hierarchy of sources
We favour the competent public and intergovernmental bodies, including WHO, ECDC, WHO, FAO, Public Health France, the Ministry of Health and ANSS. For historical or scientific topics, peer-reviewed academic publications, reference books and recognized archives may complement these sources.
The proximity of the source to the subject counts: a French order is sought from a French authority, while an international situation can be documented by the WHO or the authorities of the country concerned. Press releases, fact sheets, data sets and regulatory texts do not have the same status and are read accordingly.
Drafting principles
- Use precise vocabulary, explain technical terms when they first appeared, and prefer directly understandable phrases.
- Distinguish danger, risk, hypothesis, observation, evidence, recommendation and regulatory obligation.
- Give the relevant context: date, geographical area, population, route of exposure and level of uncertainty.
- Avoid individual statements based on general information and never present content as a diagnosis.
- Report limitations, serious disagreements and the evolving nature of data without turning any uncertainty into widespread doubt.
- Direct to the original source for any alerts, official instructions or health decisions.
Readability should not be done at the price of accuracy. When a subject cannot be summarized without losing a significant nuance, we prefer to add an explanation or refer to a specialized resource.
Updates and corrections
The posted editorial revision date indicates the last overall review of the content, not necessarily the date of each external data. In a revision, we look for broken links, changes in an organization's name, replaced recommendations, and ambiguous formulations.
The alert pages of official bodies remain the only reference for an ongoing situation. Obsolete or questionable information must be corrected from a traceable source. An important correction must preserve the meaning of the available evidence and not be made solely because an assertion is popular or often repeated.
Visuals policy
The illustrative scenes in our articles and guides are generated using artificial intelligence and identified as such. The site also presents real documentary photographs and micrographs, including images from the CDC PHIL library. Captions specify the type of document, any added colours, credits and the source. A real photograph alone cannot confirm contamination or establish a diagnosis.
The image library distinguishes fictional scenes generated for the site from real documents accompanied by their original records. AI illustrations are not microscope observations, authentic archives or evidence of a health event.
Legends of IA illustrations indicate their origin. The logos of the organizations cited are used to identify them and do not mean that they are involved in the drafting process. View Image Bank IA →
Report correction
To report an error, write to contact@biohazard-protection.com indicating the address of the page or the link of the sheet, the relevant passage and an institutional reference to verify the correction. Avoid transmitting personal medical information: this address concerns the content of the site.
Medical limitations
The site does not know your health, your history, or the full circumstances of an exposure. It cannot examine you, measure a clinical sign, interpret a result as a whole, or evaluate interactions between several treatments. Therefore, it cannot establish the level of risk of an individual case.
For symptoms, treatment, vaccination, travel or occupational exposure, consult a professional or competent authority. Bring dates, circumstances, suspected products or agents and useful documents, if possible: this information facilitates a serious assessment.
Independence
BIOHAZARD PROTECTION is an independent portal that provides funding through Google AdSense advertising. Advertising is distinct from documentary information. The presence of a link to an organization does not mean partnership, approval or mutual validation. The institutions mentioned do not automatically participate in the site's writing.
External trademarks, acronyms, documents and content remain the property of their owners. The links are selected for their documentary usefulness and not as a commercial recommendation. If a particular interest were to influence content, it should be clearly indicated.
Frequently asked questions about our method
Which sources are preferred?
The site focuses on relevant public and intergovernmental bodies, and then completes according to the subject with peer-reviewed scientific publications, reference books or recognized archives. The source closest to the territory and the decision sought is favoured.
How is the quality of information controlled?
Each sensitive statement must be able to be reconciled with an identifiable institutional source, date, territory and context. The current instructions are always checked on their original page.
What does the editorial revision date mean?
It indicates the date of revision of the content of the site. The sources mentioned have their own dates of publication and updating, to be checked directly with the body concerned.
How do I report a mistake?
Send the address of the page, the relevant passage and an institutional source to check the correction at contact@biohazard-protection.com. This address should not receive personal medical information.
