Chlorine Dioxide Measurement
Personal Exposure and Ambient Measurement of “Chlorine Dioxide” Used as a Biocidal Product in Indoor AirChlorine dioxide is an effective oxidant in a wide pH range, used as a disinfectant, acting on fungi, algae, microbes, viruses and pathogens. Chlorine dioxide is used as a disinfectant in many different sectors such as agriculture, livestock, waste water treatment, pool and industry.
Advantages of Chlordioxide
- Bactericidal, sporicidal, virus-killing, algae-killer
- Compared to other disinfectants, it provides 2.5 times more oxidation power at certain pH ranges.
- It has a fast disinfection effect.
- Destroys microbiological residues in pipe systems.
- It destroys the biofilm and prevents its re-formation.
- It prevents the formation of by-products such as trihalomethane, chlorphenol, AOX and chloramine.
- It prevents odor and taste problems caused by phenols, algae and their by-products by breaking down in water.
When chlorine dioxide is used as a biocidal product, personal exposure and ambient measurement in indoor air are performed. According to the "Concise International Chemical Assessment Document 37" by the World Health Organization, the 8-hour average of all personal air exposure should not exceed 0.1 ppm (0.28 mg / m3) due to its toxic effect on respiration.
Within the scope of ASTM D 4490 standard, Chlorine Dioxide Measurement is carried out by Nanolab Laboratories Group with the authorization of İSGÜM.
