Description: | Caption: Clothed in their blue personal protective equipment (PPE), the chemists depicted in this 2013 photograph, were in the process of mixing a bleach solution that they would then use to fill the blue-colored bottles seen in PHIL 18291 through 18293. Here you see one of the technicians about to record some entries into a yellow legal pad, which would reflect their findings after having tested some bleach samples for their chloride content. These laboratorians worked for the non-governmental organization (NGO) Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections (GHESKIO) in a lab on the GHESKIO grounds in Port-au-Prince. With CDC support, GHESKIO is distributing bleach as a way to fight cholera across Haiti.
