Mailroom Glove Boxes
Safer Mail Handling—

Mailroom gloveboxes and hoods can prevent contamination, permit safer mail handling and prevent spreading anthrax and other contaminants

Potentially contaminated mail can be processed more safely inside sealed gloveboxes or under continuously HEPA filtered hoods. Since mailboxes, mail containers and the mailroom itself may become contaminated before the mail is processed, these devices can not eliminate all contamination. They can prevent spreading contamination during the sorting and opening processes by keeping these steps either sealed inside a glovebox or by filtering all air that passes over the mail during processing to remove harmful particles, then sealing the area when a suspected article is found.
