Method for clean-up of blood spills

摘要

A solid, pulverulent composition for destroying pathogen activity and absorbing liquid when placed in contact with blood spills consists essentially of a chlorine source capable of yielding hypochlorous acid in contact with water, such as calcium hypochlorite, and diatomaceous earth. The composition includes sufficient of the chlorine source to provide an available chlorine level in the composition of at least 5,000 ppm and, preferably, 5,000 to 65,000 ppm.
