2. Chlorine dioxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_dioxide

   Chlorine dioxide can be used for air disinfection [33] and was the principal agent used in the decontamination of buildings in the United States after the 2001 anthrax attacks. [34] After the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans , Louisiana , and the surrounding Gulf Coast, chlorine dioxide was used to eradicate dangerous mold from ...

3. Biosafety cabinet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_cabinet

   Changing the filter should be limited to trained persons as the filter is potentially contaminated. This can be done either after the cabinet has been decontaminated using a gaseous procedure (using formaldehyde, chlorine dioxide, or vaporized hydrogen peroxide) or a "bag-in/bag-out" procedure. UV lights are checked and changed. UV lights ...

4. Bacillus atrophaeus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_atrophaeus

   Bacillus atrophaeus is a species of black-pigmented bacteria. Its type strain is NRRL NRS-213. [2] B. atrophaeus strains have been used extensively in biomedicine as indicator strains for heat- and chemical-based decontamination regimens.

5. Disinfectant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant

   Chlorine has been used for applications, such as the deactivation of pathogens in drinking water, swimming pool water and wastewater, for the disinfection of household areas and for textile bleaching [36] Sodium hypochlorite; Calcium hypochlorite; Monochloramine; Chloramine-T; Trichloroisocyanuric acid; Chlorine dioxide; Hypochlorous acid

6. Chlorine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

   Yellow chlorine dioxide (ClO 2) gas above a solution of hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite in water, also containing dissolved chlorine dioxide Structure of dichlorine heptoxide, Cl 2 O 7, the most stable of the chlorine oxides. The chlorine oxides are well-studied in spite of their instability (all of them are endothermic compounds).

7. Sterilization (microbiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_(microbiology)

   Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) gas is a rapid and effective sterilant for use against a wide range of microorganisms, including common bacteria, viruses, and spores. The unique physical properties of NO 2 gas allow for sterilant dispersion in an enclosed environment at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

8. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   The most common disinfection method involves some form of chlorine or its compounds such as chloramine or chlorine dioxide. Chlorine is a strong oxidant that rapidly kills many harmful micro-organisms. Because chlorine is a toxic gas, there is a danger of a release associated with its use.

9. Acute inhalation injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_Inhalation_Injury

   Because chlorine is a gas at room temperature, most exposure occurs via inhalation. Exposure may also occur through skin or eye contact or by ingesting chlorine-contaminated food or water. Chlorine is a strong oxidizing element causing the hydrogen to split from water in moist tissue, resulting in nascent oxygen and hydrogen chloride that cause ...
