# Primary-source register on chlorine dioxide. Every figure below names its source.

> STATUS: chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) is not an approved medicine in any jurisdiction. As of 2026

## The distinction that most summaries get wrong
- Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO): household bleach.
- Sodium chlorite (NaClO2): industrial salt, strongly alkaline, base of "MMS".
- Chlorine dioxide (ClO2): neutral dissolved gas; solubility ~6-8 g/L at 25 C, hence ~0.3% stock.
A sentence about "chlorine dioxide products" is incomplete without substance, concentration and route.
Source: ATSDR TP-160.

## Key figures with sources
- Oral LD50 chlorine dioxide: 292 mg/kg (male rat), 340 mg/kg (female). US EPA, Chlorine Dioxide Final Risk
  Assessment, Case 4023. At 3 g/L stock, the LD50 for a 70 kg adult needs ~6.8 L of stock.
- ATSDR intermediate oral MRL for chlorite: 0.1 mg/kg/day (NOAEL 2.9 mg/kg/day, Gill 2000).
- ATSDR: oral chlorine dioxide "is not likely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract to any great extent";
  "chlorite is the most likely source of systemic toxicity".
- Human controlled ingestion: 334 volunteers, 12-week chronic phase, G6PD-deficient subgroup; EPA review
  records human NOAEL 0.036 mg/kg/day. Lubbers et al., Fundam Appl Toxicol 1981;1(4):334-338.
- Largest retrospective cohort: 1,136 patients, 99.07% discharged without complications, mean dose
  1.41 mg/kg. No comparator arm, no confidence interval reported. Aparicio-Alonso et al., J Infect Dis Ther 2021;9:477.
- FAERS: 8 reports indexed to "chlorine dioxide" — no dose, no verified substance, no death, no
  methemoglobinemia. 16 indexed to "sodium chlorite", three relevant.
- In vitro: 99.99% inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in 10 s at 24 ppm (Hatanaka 2021); size-selective oxidation
  (Noszticzius 2013).
