Based on a review of these data and on public comments on the Agency's assessments for the active ingredient chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite, the Agency has sufficient information on the human health and ecological effects of chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite to make decisions as part of the tolerance reassessment process under FFDCA and reregistration process under FIFRA, as amended by FQPA. The Agency has determined that all chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite pesticide-containing products are eligible for reregistration provided that: (i) current data gaps and confirmatory data needs are addressed(ii) the risk mitigation measures outlined in this document are adoptedand (iii) label amendments are made to reflect these measures. ... Based on its evaluation of chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite, the Agency has determined that chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite products, unless labeled and used as specified in this document, would present risks inconsistent with FIFRA. Accordingly, should a registrant fail to implement any of the risk mitigation measures identified in this document, the Agency may take regulatory action to address the risk concerns from the use of chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite. If all changes outlined in this document are incorporated into the product labels, then all current risks for chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite will be substantially mitigated for the purposes of this determination.As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their continued use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines newer health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether the use of the pesticide does not pose unreasonable risk in accordance to newer safety standards, such as those described in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Pesticides for which EPA had not issued Registration Standards prior to the effective date of FIFRA '88 were divided into three lists based upon their potential for human exposure and other factors, with List B containing pesticides of greater concern than those on List C, and with List C containing pesticides of greater concern than those on List D.

| 독성 요약 | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Chlorine dioxide is a yellowish-brown gas with unpleasant odor similar to chlorine and nitric acid. Its uses include bleaching cellulose, paper-pulp, flour, leather, fats and oils, textiles, and beeswax. It is also used for purification of water, taste and odor control of water, cleaning and detanning leather, in the manufacture of chloride salts, and as an oxidizing agent, bactericide, antiseptic and deodorizer. Chlorine dioxide was found to be highly effective against various microorganisms tested at very low concentrations in a minimum contact time of 30 to 60 seconds. HUMAN STUDIES: Potential symptoms of overexposure are irritation of eyes, nose, and throat, as well as coughing, wheezing, bronchitis, and pulmonary edema. Workers industrially exposed to low concentrations of the gas in air have been noted occasionally to suffer from irritation of the eyes and to see haloes about lights, but these effects have been minor compared to respiratory irritation. Bronchoscopy and biopsy revealed slight chronic bronchitis in 7 of 12 workers. Only two workers who had been exposed just prior to examination showed physical signs of respiratory effects. Workers acutely exposed to chlorine dioxide developed both reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), a form of occupational asthma, and an upper airways reactive disorder that was called reactive upper airways disfunction syndrome (RUDS). A positive association was found between exposure of the mother to chlorine dioxide-treated water during pregnancy and prematurity of the newborn. Children born of mothers who drank disinfected water treated with either chlorine dioxide or hypochlorite were noted to have an increased incidence of small cranial circumference, small body length, and neonatal jaundice. Chlorine dioxide was found to be weakly genotoxic in human leukocytes. ANIMAL STUDIES: Chlorine dioxide is very toxic by inhalation in rats. Clinical signs of toxicity included respiratory distress. Macroscopically, pulmonary edema and emphysema were seen in all groups of chlorine dioxide-exposed animals, with the incidence increasing in a dose-related manner. Chlorine dioxide is toxic when administered in solution by the oral route to rats. Two males and two females receiving 80 mg chlorine dioxide/kg body weight died, and a further two males at 40 mg/kg body weight also died within 48 hr of administration. There were no deaths at 20 mg/kg body weight. A developmental study in rats did not demonstrate any impairment of reproductive function, and there were no signs of developmental effects among rats receiving up to 10 mg aqueous chlorine dioxide/kg body weight per day. A negative result was obtained for micronucleus formation, and there were no increases in the number of structural or numerical chromosome aberrations in mice treated with chlorine dioxide. However, chlorine dioxide increased water genotoxicity in assays with E. coli and with S. cerevisiae. In Chinese hamster ovary cells at 2.5-15 ug/mL, there was a marked dose-related, statistically significant increase in the number of metaphases with chromosome aberrations. In the presence of metabolic activation, cell toxicity and an absence of mitotic cells were observed at 75 ug/mL. An increase in the number of metaphases with chromosome aberrations was noted at 50 ug/mL. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Developmental abnormalities in the sea urchin were evident at exposure to the chlorine dioxide concentration 250 mg/L. Compared with the control, pre-hatch malformations were 6% higherretarded development, 2%post-hatch malformations, 20%skeletal malformations, 21%and gut malformations, 11%. Survival of larval kelp bass was not significantly affected by chlorine dioxide. In Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) chlorine dioxide exposure produced dose-dependent gill pathology including epithelial lifting, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, lamellar fusion, and necrosis. Complete recovery, even in fish with severe hypertrophy and lamellar fusion, was achieved within 4 days. Chlorine dioxide concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L induced micronuclei in Vicia faba at acid pH, while 1-2 mg/L chlorine dioxide gave positive responses at neutral pH. Chlorine dioxide produced positive responses in the Tradescantia micronucleus test. |
| 생태독성 발췌 | /AQUATIC SPECIES/ Antifouling biocides are commonly used in coastal electric power stations to prevent biofouling in their condenser cooling systems. However, the environmental impact of the chemical biocides is less understood than the thermal stress effects caused by the condenser effluents. In this study, Chaetoceros lorenzianus, a representative marine diatom, was used to analyze the toxicity of two antifouling biocides, chlorine and chlorine dioxide. The diatom cells were subjected to a range of concentrations of the biocides (from 0.05 to 2 mg/L, as total residual oxidants, TRO) for contact time of 30min. They were analyzed for viability, genotoxicity, chlorophyll a and cell density endpoints. The cells were affected at all concentrations of the biocides (0.05-2 mg/L), showing dose-dependent decrease in viability and increase in DNA damage. The treated cells were later incubated in filtered seawater devoid of biocide to check for recovery. The cells were able to recover in terms of overall viability and DNA damage, when they had been initially treated with low concentrations of the biocides (0.5 mg/L of Cl2 or 0.2 mg/L of ClO2). Chlorophyll a analysis showed irreparable damage at all concentrations, while cell density showed increasing trend of reduction, if treated above 0.5 mg/L of Cl2 and 0.2 mg/L of ClO2. The data indicated that in C. lorenzianus, cumulative toxic effects and recovery potential of ClO2 up to 0.2 mg/L were comparable with those of Cl2, up to 0.5 mg/L concentration in terms of the studied endpoints. The results indicate that at the biocide levels currently being used at power stations, recovery of the organism is feasible upon return to ambient environment. Similar studies should be carried out on other planktonic and benthic organisms, which will be helpful in the formulation of future guidelines for discharge of upcoming antifouling biocides such as chlorine dioxide./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Environmental effect evaluation of disinfection of combined sewer overflow events with alternative chemical disinfectants requires that the environmental toxicity of the disinfectants and the main by-products of their use are known. Many disinfectants degrade quickly in water which should be included in the evaluation of both their toxicity as determined in standardized tests and their possible negative effect in the water environment. Here we evaluated according to the standardized ISO 8692 test the toxicity towards the green microalgae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, of three disinfectants: performic acid (PFA), peracetic acid (PAA) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as well as two by-products of their use: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chlorite. All of the five chemicals investigated showed clear toxicity to the algae with well-defined dose response curves. The EC50 values ranged from 0.16 to 2.9 mg/L based on nominal concentrations leading to the labeling of the chemicals as either toxic or very toxic. The five investigated chemicals decreased in toxicity in the order chlorine dioxide, performic acid, peracetic acid, chlorite and hydrogen peroxide. The stability of the chemicals increased in the same order as the toxicity decrease. This indicates that even though ClO2 has the highest environmental hazard potential, it may still be suitable as an alternative disinfectant due to its rapid degradation in water./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Whether the implementation of additional treatments for the removal of estrogens from wastewater treatment works (WwTWs) effluents will eliminate their feminizing effects in exposed wildlife has yet to be established, and this information is crucial for future decisions on investment into WwTWs. Here, granular activated carbon (GAC), ozone (O(3)), and chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) were investigated for their effectiveness in reducing steroidal estrogen levels in a WwTW effluent and assessments made on the associated estrogenic and reproductive responses in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed for 21 days. All treatments reduced the estrogenicity of the standard-treated (STD) effluent, but with different efficaciesranging between 70-100% for total estrogenicity and 53-100% for individual steroid estrogens. In fish exposed to the GAC- and ClO(2)- (but not O(3)-) treated effluents, there was no induction of plasma vitellogenin (VTG) or reduction in the weight of the fatpad, a secondary sex character in males, as occurred for fish exposed to STD effluent. This finding suggests likely benefits of employing these treatment processes for the reproductive health in wild fish populations living in rivers receiving WwTW discharges. Exposure of pair-breeding minnows to the GAC-treated effluent, however, resulted in a similar inhibition of egg production to that occurring for exposure to the STD effluent (34-40%). These data, together with a lack of effect on egg production of the estrogen, ethinylestradiol (10 ng/L), alone, suggest that chemical/physical properties of the effluents rather than their estrogenicity were responsible for the reproductive effect and that these factor(s) were not remediated for through GAC treatment. Collectively, our findings illustrate the importance of assessing integrative biological responses, rather than biomarkers alone, in the assessment and improvement of WwTW technologies for the protection of wild fish populations./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between consumption of chlorinated drinking water and various cancers. Chlorination of water rich in organic chemicals produces carcinogenic organochlorine by-products (OBPs) such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. Since the discovery of the first OBP in the 1970s, there have been several investigations designed to determine the biological effects of single chemicals or small artificial OBP combinations. However, there is still insufficient information regarding the general biological response to these compounds, and further studies are still needed to evaluate their potential genotoxic effects. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of three drinking water disinfectants on the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-linked metabolizing enzymes and on the generation of oxidative stress in the livers of male and female Cyprinus carpio fish (carp). The fish were exposed in situ for up 20 days to surface water obtained from the Trasmene lake in Italy. The water was treated with 1-2 mg/L of either sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) or chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as traditional disinfectants or with a relatively new disinfectant product, peracetic acid (PAA). Micronucleus (MN) frequencies in circulating erythrocytes from the fish were also analyzed as a biomarker of genotoxic effect. In the CYP-linked enzyme assays, a significant induction (up to a 57-fold increase in the deethylation of ethoxyresorufin with PAA treatment) and a notable inactivation (up to almost a 90% loss in hydroxylation of p-nitrophenol with all disinfectants, and of testosterone 2beta-hydroxylation with NaClO) was observed in subcellular liver preparations from exposed fish. Using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy radical-probe technique, we also observed that CYP-modulation was associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, we found a significant increase in MN frequency in circulating erythrocytes after 10 days of exposure of fish to water treated with ClO2, while a non-significant six-fold increase in MN frequency was observed with NaClO, but not with PAA. Our data suggest that the use of ClO2 and NaClO to disinfect drinking water could generate harmful OBP mixtures that are able to perturb CYP-mediated reactions, generate oxidative stress and induce genetic damage. These data may provide a mechanistic explanation for epidemiological studies linking consumption of chlorinated drinking water to increased risk of urinary, gastrointestinal and bladder cancers.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Chlorine dioxide (14 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ An assessment of the safety of chronically administered chlorine water disinfectants in man was conducted in 3 phases. Phase I, a rising dose tolerance investigation, examined the effects of single dose incr concn admin of disinfectants to normal healthy adult male volunteers. Phase II considered the impact on normal subjects of 12 wk daily ingestion of the disinfectants at a concn of 5 mg/L. In phase III, chlorite, at a concn of 5 mg/L, was administered daily to glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD)-deficient subjects. The study affirmed the relative safety and tolerance of normal healthy adult males and normal healthy adult male G-6-PD-deficient individuals to daily 12 wk ingestion of 500 mL of chlorine disinfectants at a concentration of 5 mg/L. /Disinfection byproducts//HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In a series of extensive human volunteer studies on water disinfectants, groups of 10 males received aqueous chlorine dioxide in drinking-water by a range of different protocols (a sequence of rising concentrations of up to around 0.34 mg/kg body weight over a 16-day period, approximately 0.035 mg/kg body weight on every third day for 12 weeks, or approximately 3.6 x 10-5 mg aqueous chlorine dioxide/kg body weight per day daily for 12 weeks). Observations included physical examination (blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse, oral temperature, and electrocardiography), extensive blood biochemistry, hematology, and urinalysis, and the subjective recording of taste. There were no significant adverse effects recorded for any of the parameters measured./SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Potential symptoms of overexposure are irritation of eyes, nose, and throatcoughing, wheezing, bronchitis, pulmonary edemachronic bronchitis./SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ ...

용도
용도
Chlorine Dioxide is a gas used in bleaching and aging flour. it acts on the flour almost instantly, resulting in improved color and dough properties. because usage levels are low, the bleaching action is limited.
제조 및 합성 방법
제조 방법
Chlorine dioxide is prepared by passing nitrogen dioxide through sodium chlorate packed in a column: NaClO3 + NO2 → NaNO3 + ClO2 Also, it may be prepared by the reaction of chlorine with sodium chlorite: 2NaClO2 + Cl2 → 2ClO2 + 2NaClAlternatively, it may be obtained by the treatment of sodium chlorate or potassium chlorate with sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid: 2NaClO3 + SO2 + H2SO4 → 2ClO2 + 2 NaHSO4.
생산 방법
Chlorine dioxide is manufactured from the oxidation of chlorite or the reduction of chlorate. The latter method is used for large-volume production and is carried out in strongly acidic solution using reducing agents such as NaCl, HCl, sulfur dioxide, and methanol.
