The chlorine dioxide (ClO2) exposure was 10 min. ... the ClO2 product only showed reductions of 1.7 log10, 0.6 log10, and 2.4 log10 respectively. However, the exposure times used in the study were extremely short..."

{***Includes useful illustration of size related to viruses, bacteria, etc} At 124 picometers (0.000124 micrometers), a chlorine dioxide gas molecule is *****much smaller than any microorganism****. Chlorine dioxide is a real gas and by definition expands and conforms to the shape of the area in which it is held and acquires a uniform density inside that area, even in the presence of gravity and also regardless of the amount of equipment in the area. This property of chlorine dioxide gas allows it to easily penetrate and disinfect locations where other fumigant applications such as dry fog is not able to effectively reach.

The treatment of wet environments in the presence of human activity such as kitchens and bathrooms with the low-concentration ClO2 gas would be useful for reducing the risk of infection by bacteria and viruses residing on the environmental hard surfaces without adverse effects. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study demonstrates that the low-concentration ClO2 gas (mean 0Æ05 ppmv) inactivates various kinds ofmicrobes such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped and nonenveloped viruses in the wet state

"chlorine dioxide's inhibition of future mold growth after fogging (5 years) and after use of gas packets (6 months, to date) suggests a strong sporicidal activity. " "...self-activating packet (Aseptrol™) that reacts with humidity in the air, was used. The packet is a loose powder sachet, which will begin releasing chlorine dioxide in 90 minutes after exposure to ambient relative humidity. This sachet will release 1/2-2 vppm of chlorine dioxide per gram of material in a one gallon volume with 10cc/minute of continuous air changeover. The sachet will continue to release at a constant rate for 15 days before exhausting at 85% relative humidity and over 30 days at 31% humidity." "In particular, the health hazards of uncontrolled mold may outweigh the use of "safe" fungicides." "The use of this substance, particularly with the gas packet technology, is attractive. Convenience, low labor costs and its potential to avert disastrous mold outbreaks."

"... uring a period of 38 consecutive school days the rate of school children absent from the school was markedly lower (1.5%) in a classroom where the ClO2 device was placed than that (4.0%) in a classroom where it was not placed. "

{Also includes treatment by nebulized inhalation} Disclosed is a countermeasure against the infection with a floating virus, which is characterized by supplying a ***chlorine dioxide** gas to a space suspected of the presence of a floating virus to such an extent that the concentration of the chlorine dioxide gas in the space becomes a concentration at which an animal can survive but the floating virus is deactivated.

{Does this calculation actually need a 2.8 conversion integrated??} "Since 540 ml of chlorine dioxide solution (250 mg/l) was prepared and sprayed into the space of 450 m3, the concentration was 0.3 mg/m3 (0.1 mg/l as ClO2)."

2010. The preventive effect against influenza-like illness by low-concentration chlorine dioxide gas was examined among Japan Ground Self Defense Force soldiers and civilians at a particular camp. The chlorine dioxide gas-exposed group consisted of all individuals who worked in a particular building, and the unexposed group consisted of all individuals who worked inthe neighboring building. Results showed that the relative risk of influenza-like illness after chlorine dioxide gas exposure was 0.32(95% confidence interval between 0.15 and 0.69), although the vaccination rate in the exposed group was lower than the unexposed group. This result suggests that chlorine dioxide gas has preventive effects against influenza-like illness. {Translations at end of this page, and at translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstage.jst.go.jp%2Farticle%2Fjsei%2F25%2F5%2F25_5_277%2F_pdf%2F-char%2Fja }

Reference list of disinfectants to use on objects contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 includes Chlorine Dioxide as a disinfectant for indoor air (Does not specify whether for use in occupied or unoccupied areas), and as a disinfectant for surfaces of environmental objects at 500 mg/L.

(2020) {Airborne use of Chlorine Dioxide mentioned as approved for poultry hatcheries} {Includes concentrations & contact times for pathogens.} Mentioned: In egg room: *** "Humidification water is treated with 40 ppm of available chlorine dioxide to prevent the build-up and airborne spread of odor-causing microorganisms." -- In incubator room: *** "20 ppm of available chlorine dioxide is added to water in the humidification system or the air filters are sprayed with a 100 ppm solution of available chlorine dioxide to reduce airborne bacterial contamination." ***

2010. Up to 4 mg/L of chlorine dioxide gas (generated from gel and solution) was emitted into occupied areas of a dental office, including an operating room, for workday. Air conditioning unit with plasma filter and high-efficiency particulate filter were also tested. After office closing, areas were checked for levels of fallen airborne microbes. Patterns of decontamination effectiveness were evaluated.

2013. The elevator used in the present study had a volume of 4.5 m3. Thus, to satisfy the 8-h TWA limit of 0.3 mg/m3, fumigation was performed using a 5.4 mL ClO2 solution (250 mg/L). The ClO2 solution was applied using a simple handheld spraying device... The results suggest that for a maximum of five individuals within the elevator, the ClO2 application process should be repeated at 40-min intervals in order to meet the air quality requirements of the Taiwan EPA. Pathogens tested were bacteria and fungi.

****!!!!***!!!*** (2017) {Includes CD bond specs for liquid & gas phases.} ***Disinfection using such low-concentration ClO2 gas does not require evacuation of people, and could be used to disinfect room air in the simultaneous presence of people.*** It is demonstrated that chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas of extremely low concentrations that have no toxic effect to animals has strong anti-microbial activity against infectious microbes, such as bacteria and viruses... The use of ClO2 gas at very low concentrations may open new avenue of disinfection systems of room air without requiring evacuation of people. This review presents the details of the disinfection system of ClO2 gas." "The use of 0.03 ppm ClO2 gas is also useful in prevention of mosquito-related infective diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, given that this concentration of ClO2 gas has a repellent effect against mosquitoes" "rats exposed to 0.1 ppm ClO2 gas for 24 h/day and 7 days/week for a period of 6 months were completely healthy " "rate of killing increases along with the increase in relative humidity.

****!!!!****!!!!**** 2016. Here, we demonstrate that chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at extremely low concentrations, which has no detrimental effects on human health, elicits a strong effect to inactivate bacteria and viruses and significantly reduces the number of viable airborne microbes in a hospital operating room. In one set of experiments, a suspension of Staphylococcus aureus, bacteriophage MS2, and bacteriophage ΦX174 were released into an exposure chamber. When ClO2 gas at 0.01 or 0.02 parts per million (ppm, volume/volume) was present in the chamber, the numbers of surviving microbes in the air were markedly reduced after 120 min. The reductions were markedly greater than the natural reductions of the microbes in the chamber. In another experiment, the numbers of viable airborne bacteria in the operating room of a hospital collected over a 24-hour period in the presence or absence of 0.03 ppm ClO2 gas were found to be 10.9 ± 6.7 and 66.8 ± 31.2 colony-forming units/m3 (n = 9, p < 0.001), respectively. Taken together, we conclude that ClO2 gas at extremely low concentrations (≤0.03 ppm) can reduce the number of viable microbes floating in the air in a room. These results strongly support the potential use of ClO2 gas at a non-toxic level to reduce infections caused by the inhalation of pathogenic microbes in nursing homes and medical facilities.

June 2020. Low levels of chlorine dioxide gas didn't harm human Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) test cells.

1990. {At low ppm for only a few seconds} The inactivation of single-particle stocks of human (type 2, Wa) and simian (SA-11) rotaviruses by chlorine dioxide was investigated. Experiments were conducted at 4 degrees C in a standard phosphate-carbonate buffer. Both virus types were rapidly inactivated, within 20 s under alkaline conditions, when chlorine dioxide concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 mg/liter were used. Similar reductions of 10(5)-fold in infectivity required additional exposure time of 120 s at 0.2 mg/liter for Wa and at 0.5 mg/liter for SA-11, respectively, at pH 6.0. The inactivation of both virus types was moderate at neutral pH, and the sensitivities to chlorine dioxide were similar. The observed enhancement of virucidal efficiency with increasing pH was contrary to earlier findings with chlorine- and ozone-treated rotavirus particles, where efficiencies decreased with increasing alkalinity.

2015. In this study, Dioxy MP 14, a locally developed form of chlorine dioxide, was tested in a commercial chicken pen to determine its effectiveness as an airborne environmental sanitizing agent. The biocide was introduced via an overhead misting system with a variable dosing pump. Results show a decrease in airborne microbial load and a significantly higher egg productivity rate at a 5% level in the treated pen.

2016. Here, we demonstrate that chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas at extremely low concentrations, which has no detrimental effects on human health, elicits a strong effect to inactivate bacteria and viruses and significantly reduces the number of viable airborne microbes in a hospital operating room. Air concentration levels were 0.01-0.03 ppm. In test chamber, ClO2 gas at 0.01 or 0.02 parts per million (ppm, volume/volume) was present, the numbers of surviving microbes in the air were markedly reduced after 120 min. In the operating room of a hospital, viable airborne bacteria collected over a 24-hour period in the presence or absence of 0.03 ppm ClO2 gas were found to be 10.9 ± 6.7 and 66.8 ± 31.2 colony-forming units/m3 (n = 9, p < 0.001), respectively.

2016. {Different concentrations and times against different influenza strains.} " Chlorine dioxide may best be used to restore a poultry house to a virus-free state following evidence of influenza infection,"

Feb 2020. Research here was to evaluate the possibility of using an extremely low-concentration gaseous chlorine dioxide (ClO2, 0.01 ppmv, 0.028 mg/m3) as a technique to reduce the risk of environmental infection by Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). In this study we set up an exposure chamber (1 m3) and used three types of GNB, namely Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The extremely low-concentration gaseous ClO2 inactivated E. coli (&gt; 2 log10 reductions, within 2 h), P. aeruginosa (&gt; 4 log10 reductions, within 2 h) and A. baumannii (&gt; 2 log10 reductions, within 3 h) in wet conditions on glass dishes. Treatment of *moist* environments with extremely low-concentration gaseous ClO2 may help to reduce the risk of environmental infection by GNB without harmful effects.

(2013). The cafeteria had a volume of 2375 m3. Thus, to satisfy the 8-hr TWA limit of 0.3 mg/m3, disinfection was performed using 250 mg/L ClO2 solution. In performing the disinfection process, the ClO2 solution was equally divided among six ultrasonic aerosol devices (i.e., less than 0.475 L per container)

Answer: IMO, you should not. A small amount (1–2 drops) of bleach may sterilize the humidifier, but enough to evaporate chlorine to sterilize the room is dangerous to you. It would be interesting to find out if coronavirus were destroyed in rooms around indoor pools, where the chlorination makes...

2020. According to European recommendations and formulated on the basis of the list of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association and the opinion of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), chlorine dioxide is on the list of virucidal substances, effective against COVID-19, on surfaces and as an aerosol. Conclusion. The results of scientific studies on the biocidal properties of chlorine dioxide indicate that its use, at concentrations lower than those harmful to the human body, is an effective method of controlling viruses in the air and on surfaces.

****!!!!*** 2016. "The assay showed complete hemagglutinin inhibition and therefore protection for influenza virusesin just thirty minutes of exposure. These results show that chlorine dioxide has high potential for a successful preventative treatment in poultry flocks. The granular form, which involves the chlorine dioxide compound and an oxidizing agent, is more advantageous than other methods of distributing chlorine dioxide treatment. This method of release for chlorine dioxide could be directly placed beneath the floor of poultry farm cages and be used as an ongoing method of prevention."

(2010). Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has a strong antiviral effect, and can disinfect the surface of object and the air in space. In recent study on interaction between ClO2 and protein, ClO2 oxidatively modified tyrosine and tryptophan residues, and the pro-tein was structurally denatured. Since hemagglutinin and neuraminidase of influenza virus A/H1N1 were inactivated by the reaction with ClO2, it is likely that denaturation of the proteins caused inactivation of the virus. A low concentration (0.03 ppm) of ClO2 gas, where people can stay for a long period of time without any harmful effect, prevented the death of mice (0 of 10 mice versus 7 of 10 in controls) caused by infection of influenza virus delivered as aerosol. We review current information based on the efficiency of ClO2 solution and gas, and also discuss the application of ClO2 against influenza pandemics outbreak.
