Which of the following is NOT an acute health effect?
- A.
Skin burn
- B.
Eye irritation

_______________ are micro-organisms that are present in human blood that can cause disease in humans.
Correct Answer
Bloodborne pathogens
BBPExplanation
Bloodborne pathogens, also known as BBP, are micro-organisms that can be found in human blood and have the potential to cause diseases in humans. These pathogens can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids, such as saliva or semen. Examples of bloodborne pathogens include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is important to take proper precautions and follow safety protocols to prevent the spread of these pathogens and protect oneself from potential infections.Rate this question:
