******!!!!***!!!!*** 2020. {Some statements may need to be verified} "at 20 degrees Celsius y = 0.0316 indicating that in equilibrium 1 cm3 aqueous phase contains (0.0316)-1 = 31.6 times more ClO2 molecules than 1 cm3 gas phase." "Thus, the following formula can be used to calculate the ClO2 concentration of the gas phase being in equilibrium with a ClO2 solution at 20 degrees C: [ClO2]gas in ppm (V/V) = 11.3 x [ClO2]aq in ppm (m/m)" 1) Global prevention approach: Disinfection of air spaces, hard surfaces, and persons simultaneously with airborne aqueous ClO2 solutions. 2) Personal disinfection techniques: Disinfection of the mouth and the upper respiratory track with gargling. [Note: In two lab tests, a chlorine dixode mouth rinse tested directly against SARS-CoV-2 was 98% effective in 30 seconds. This may hold potential in reducing contagion during ventilator-tube insertion.] 3) Disinfection of the lower respiratory track through inhalation of low-level chlorine dioxide.

Includes **valuable** study of different ClO2 air concentrations being administered to mice in different timings after being exposed to flu virus.} "chlorine dioxide gas, even at an extremely low concentration of e.g. 0.05 to 0.1 ppm, is capable of deactivating virus or depriving its infectability" " In some of the experiments, however, the introduction of chlorine dioxide gas was effected with delays relative to the introduction of the virus-containing aerosol... to check whether the chlorine dioxide gas can prevent onset of viral disease resulting from the virus which has entered the lungs already."
