Suppose that Louisa is cut by broken glass during a lab accident. Which is the proper place to dispose of the paper towels that are used to clean up the blood?

a. broken glass container

b. hazardous waste container

c. spilled chemicals container

d. classroom waste container

The correct answer would definitely be: B. Hazardous waste container.

I am First Aid certified. Since the blood is a bodily fluid and may contain hazardous bacteria that could spread, you would have to disinfect the area and dispose of the paper towels in a hazardous waste container to make sure that it doesn't contaminate anyone.
