Bio-Waste includes which of the following?

• A. Blood only
• B. Solid waste
• C. All body fluids (no blood) that cabin is expected to clean
• D. Food waste

Answer: (C)

Bio-waste in cabin cleaning is waste that can carry infection from biological materials and thus requires careful handling and disposal. In many airline guidelines, this category covers body fluids that cleaners are likely to encounter while performing tasks, but it distinguishes blood as a separate, more tightly regulated waste stream. Therefore, the best description is that bio-waste includes all body fluids (excluding blood) that the cabin is expected to clean. This recognizes that fluids such as vomit, urine, saliva, mucus, and other secretions can contain infectious material and need designated disposal procedures, while blood is typically managed under its own medical or hazardous waste rules. The other options don’t fit because solid waste is not infectious waste, food waste is a different waste category, and blood alone doesn’t capture the range of fluids caregivers must handle in routine cleaning.
