Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) is the highest level of biocontainment, reserved for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high risk of life-threatening disease, which may be transmitted via aerosols and for which there are no available vaccines or treatments. BSL-4 laboratories require complete isolation, full-body air-supplied suits, specialized ventilation systems, and rigorous decontamination procedures.
