Called “Crime and Trauma clean up” or CTS Decon, this burgeoning enterprise has approximately 300 companies in the United States who will take on any assignment, no matter how bloody. With salaries that can range between $40,000 and $50,000, and higher in large cities, the bio-technicians employed for this type of work must be certified, psychologically stable, and physically fit.
