Small bits of tissue are preserved in paraffin for later use. I recently heard a segment on NPR where a guy determined his dad was not his biological father by using a 30 year old paraffin sample long after the father's death.

I know I'm going to sound *quite* ignorant for asking, but: Doesn't the government send anyone out to clean up biologically hazardous wastes such as these? I've been wondering that for a while. . . If someone could kindly clear that up, I'd be very grateful. :3

Yes, the entire place was stripped, including all biological waste, by 2008.

But it wasn't closed because of the biological material. A huge amount of 50 years of books with data from their 'customers' was stored inside there...
