H = -168 kcal/mole NaClO2 Due to the reactivity of sodium chlorite, neutralization for disposal purposes should be For example, when starting with a 5% NaClO2 avoided whenever possible. Where permitted, solution, the heat generated from this reaction the preferred method for handling sodium could theoretically raise the temperature of the chlorite spills and waste is by dilution, as solution by 81C (146F). Adequate dilution, discussed in the OxyChem Safety Data Sheet thorough mixing and a slow rate of reaction are (SDS) for sodium chlorite in Section 6, important factors in controlling the temperature (Accidental Release Measures). Sodium chlorite increase (T). neutralization procedures must be carried out only by properly trained personnel wearing Procedure appropriate protective equipment. The complete neutralization procedure involves three sequential steps: dilution, chlorite Reaction Considerations reduction, and alkali neutralization. The dilution If a specific situation requires sodium chlorite to step lowers the strength of the sodium chlorite be neutralized, the chlorite must first be reduced solution to 5% or less; the reduction step reacts by a reaction with sodium sulfite. The use of the diluted chlorite solution with sodium sulfite to sodium sulfite is recommended over other produce a sulfate solution, and the neutralization reducing agents such as sodium thiosulfate step reduces the pH of the alkaline sulfate (Na2S2O3), sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3), and solution from approximately 12 to 4-5. -

CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND CHLORITE iii UPDATE STATEMENT Toxicological Profile for Chlorine Dioxide and Chlorite, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2002. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE, Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND CHLORITE vi *Legislative Background The toxicological profiles are developed in response to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (Public law 99-499) which amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund). This public law directed ATSDR to prepare toxicological profiles for hazardous substances most commonly found at facilities on the CERCLA National Priorities List and that pose the most significant potential threat to human health, as determined by ATSDR and the EPA. The availability of the revised priority list of 275 hazardous substances was announced in the Federal Register on November 17, 1997 (62 FR 61332). For prior versions of the list of substances, see Federal Register notices dated April 29, 1996 (61 FR 18744); April 17, 1987 (52 FR 12866); October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41280); October 26, 1989 (54 FR 43619); October 17, 1990 (55 FR 42067); October 17, 1991 (56 FR 52166); October 28, 1992 (57 FR 48801); and February 28, 1994 (59 FR 9486). -
Occurrence of Chlorite, Chlorate and Bromate in Disinfected Swimming Pool Water
Polish J. of Environ. Stud. Vol. 16, No. 2 (2007), 237-241 Original Research Occurrence of Chlorite, Chlorate and Bromate in Disinfected Swimming Pool Water R. Michalski*, B. Mathews institute of environmental engineering of Polish Academy of science, 34 sklodowska-curie str., 41-819 zabrze, Poland Received: June 29, 2006 Accepted: November 10, 2006 Abstract Swimming pool water treatment in general includes flocculation, sand filtration and subsequent dis- infection. Chlorite, chlorate and bromate are disinfection by-products of swimming pool water treated by chlorine species or ozone. They are responsible for adverse effects on human health and their analyses in swimming pool water are necessary. The simply and fast suppressed ion chromatography simultaneous separation and conductivity deter- mination of chlorite, chlorate, bromate, fluoride, chloride, nitrate, bromide, phosphate and sulfate in dis- infected swimming pool water has been described. The separation was performed on an anion-exchange column with 1.0 mm na2CO3 + 3.2 mm naHco3 as eluent, and determination by suppressed conductivity detection. chlorite has been found in 5 analyzed samples, chlorate in all of them, and bromate in the 2 samples originated from ozonated swimming pool water. ions were analyzed in the wide concentrations range from 0.05 mg l-1 (bromate) up to 300 mg l-1 (chloride, sulfate). Linearity of disinfection by-products was checked up to 2.0 mg/l (chlorite), 30 mg l-1 (chlorate) and 0.5 mg l-1 (bromate) with a 50 µl injection loop (r2= 0.9966 – 0.9985), respectively. Fluoride, chloride, nitrate, bromide, phosphate, and sulfate did not interfere with target anions. -

Chlorine Dioxide and Chlorite
CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND CHLORITE What are CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND CHLORITE? Chlorine dioxide is a man-made gas that is yellow to reddish-yellow in color, with an unpleasant odor similar to chlorine. When chlorine dioxide is added to water, it forms chlorite. Where can chlorine dioxide and chlorite be found and how are they used? Paper plants use chlorine dioxide to bleach paper. Public drinking water suppliers use low levels of chlorine dioxide to kill harmful bacteria and organisms. How can people be exposed to chlorine dioxide and chlorite? You could be exposed to chlorine dioxide and chlorite through: Drinking water purified with chlorine dioxide and chlorite. Touching chlorine dioxide and chlorite by being in the air they have contaminated. Both chemicals are gases that break down in air. Eye Contact by being in the air that chlorine dioxide and chlorite have contaminated. Employees of pulp and paper mills or water treatment plants can have a high exposure if they work where chlorine dioxide and chlorite are used as disinfectants. How do chlorine dioxide and chlorite work? Both chlorine dioxide and chlorite break down quickly when they enter the body. Chlorine dioxide changes to chlorite ions, small groups of atoms with an electric charge. These ions further break down into chloride ions that leave the body within hours or days through the urine. How can chlorine dioxide and chlorite affect my health? Breathing air containing chlorine dioxide gas can irritate your nose, throat and lungs. There is no evidence that chlorine dioxide or chlorite affects reproduction in humans. Most people will not be exposed to enough chlorine dioxide or chlorite to suffer significant and long-lasting damage.
