Not liking the sound of this.........
Chlorine Dioxide is pretty nasty stuff....


Hi SHR,

I agree. All other documentation shows it as a pesticide. It may kill all the bacterial causes that it mentions, but how long before it kills the human unless like arsenic, you build up a tolerance to it.

Anthrax spore decontamination using chlorine dioxide

Resources: National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) 1-800-858-7378

Current as of July 2007

Bleach, chlorine dioxide, ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid, methyl bromide, paraformaldehyde and vaporized hydrogen peroxide were pesticides used in federal decontamination responses to the bioterrorism attacks of October 2001. These attacks involved the intentional placement of Bacillus anthracis spores (the causative agent of the disease anthrax) into letters addressed to various locations on the East Coast of the United States. More information about biological threats.

This page describes the Agency’s actions with regard to the chemicals used in the anthrax spore decontamination activities. EPA temporarily approved these pesticides for sale, distribution, and use based on the remediation action plans submitted for each specific site and only in accordance with the requirements of each crisis exemption under Section 18 of FIFRA. These chemicals were not intended for use by the general public.

What is chlorine dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is an antimicrobial pesticide recognized for its disinfectant properties since the early 1900s. Chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms by disrupting transport of nutrients across the cell wall.

Chlorine dioxide smells somewhat like chlorine bleach. Chlorine dioxide should not be confused with chlorine gas. They are two distinct chemicals that react differently and produce by-products that have little in common..."



Peace, love, and enlightenment.

If we do not live in peace together, we die in war together!
