What is the ratio for diluting bleach used as a disinfectant for cleaning a blood spill?

1:5
1:8
1:10
2:10

The correct answer is: 1:10

The ratio for diluting bleach used as a disinfectant for cleaning a blood spill is 110. This ratio ensures that the bleach is appropriately concentrated enough to effectively disinfect the area without being too strong which can cause harm. Option A (1:5) and B (1:8) have a higher bleach-to-water ratio which can result in a stronger solution that may be too harsh and corrosive. Option D (2:10) also results in a higher concentration of bleach and may not adequately disinfect the area. Therefore, option C (1:10) is the best ratio for diluting bleach when cleaning a blood spill.
