  ATSDR - MMG: Calcium Hypochlorite/Sodium Hypochlorite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The toxic effects of sodium and calcium hypochlorite are primarily due to the corrosive properties of the hypochlorite moiety.
Sodium and calcium hypochlorite are used primarily as oxidizing and bleaching agents or disinfectants.
Hypochlorite is irritating to the skin and eyes and in some cases may release toxic gases.

  Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A solution of sodium hypochlorite is frequently used as a disinfectant and as a bleaching agent; indeed, often it is simply called "bleach", though other chemicals are sometimes given that name as well.
The alkalinity of the sodium hypochlorite solution also causes the precipitation of minerals such as calcium carbonate (lime), so that the shock chlorination is often accompanied by a clogging effect.
Hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer, and the products of the oxidation reactions are corrosive, and can burn skin and cause eye damage, particularly when used in concentrated forms.

 Sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant
Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidator and reacts with flammable compounds and reductors.
In households, hypochlorite is used frequently for the purification and disinfection of the house.
Because sodium hypochlorite is used both to oxidize pollutions (urine, sweat, cosmetics) and to remove pathogenic microorganisms, the required concentration of sodium hypochlorite depends on the concentrations of these pollutions.

 Hypochlorite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hypochlorite compound is a chemical compound containing this group, with chlorine in oxidation state +1.
Common examples include sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach or bleaching agent) and calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder).
Hypochlorites are frequently quite unstable — for example, sodium hypochlorite is not available as a solid, since removal of the water from NaClO solution converts it to a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium chlorate.

 Mechanism of action of sodium hypochlorite
Sodium hypochlorite is the most used irrigating solution in endodontics, because its mechanism of action causes biosynthetic alterations in cellular metabolism and phospholipid destruction, formation of chloramines that interfere in cellular metabolism, oxidative action with irreversible enzymatic inactivation in bacteria, and lipid and fatty acid degradation.
The worldwide use of sodium hypochlorite as a root canal irrigating solution is due mainly to its efficacy for pulpal dissolution and antimicrobial activity.
Sodium hypochlorite is recommended and used by the majority of dentists because this solution presents several important properties: antimicrobial effect (3,4,16), tissue dissolution capacity (1-12,15) and acceptable biologic compatibility in less concentrated solutions (17,18).

 Sequesterants as hypochlorite bleach enhancers - Patent 6297209
Preferably, the hypochlorite composition is an alkali metal hypochlorite and said sequesterant has a molecular weight of between about 500 and 500,000 daltons, and preferably from about 3,000 to 70,000 daltons.
The concentration of sequestering agents should be sufficient to mitigate the dingying effect of hypochlorite on fabric, particularly white fabric, and to prevent or reduce the level of fabric damage when the fabric is washed in water containing iron and/or manganese ions present at these concentration level(s).
The hypochlorite bleach composition (without said sequestering agents) is typically commercially available as an aqueous solution comprising about a 1-15%, preferably about a 4-8%, solution of sodium hypochlorite in water, with various amounts of sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and other by-products of the manufacturing process present.

 Controlled release encapsulated hypochlorite deactivator for use in denture cleansers - United States Patent 4,671,972
In order to utilize the hypochlorite deactivator without adversely effecting the effectiveness of the hypochlorite as a cleansing agent it is necessary to delay the action of the deactivator until the cleansing action is complete.
The hypochlorite instantaneously reaches its maximum value and is immediately eliminated at the end of the cleansing cycle by the subsequent release of deactivator.
Prior art methods of including a hypochlorite deactivator in the denture cleansing composition result in a hypochlorite concentration curve represented by curve "b." The hypochlorite is maintained at a low level throughout the cleansing cycle.

 Physico-chemical properties of sodium hypochlorite
A fragment of bovine pulp was submersed in sodium hypochlorite that circulated in an apparatus with a peristaltic pump and Luer Lok syringe.
The objective of this investigation was to study, in vitro, the effect of four concentrations of sodium hypochlorite on the rate of bovine pulp tissue dissolution at environmental temperature and evaluate the level of residual chlorine, pH and surface tension after dissolution.
The velocity of dissolution by 0.5% sodium hypochlorite with a pH of 9 was 0.007 mg/s, of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite with a pH of 11.6 was 0.014 mg/s, of 0.36% sodium hypochlorite with a pH of 7.0 was 0.003 mg/s, and of 0.36% sodium hypochlorite with a pH of 11.6 was 0.010 mg/s.

 calcium hypochlorite unstabilised chlorine granules for swimming pools
Calcium Hypochlorite is unstabilised (it does not contain cyanurates) and so is more suited for use in indoor pools where chlorine loss through the effects of sunlight are much less.
Calcium Hypochlorite is the preferred method of shock treatment because it is readily soluble and rapidly increases the free chlorine content of the water.
Calcium Hypochlorite is ideal for shock dosing as it is a strong oxidising agent.

Be very careful that the contents read calcium hypochlorite, and are not some other form of chlorine or other disinfectant.
There is some disagreement in how soluble calcium hypochlorite is; for our purposes, we will be creating a strong, not saturated, solution, so it is not terribly important to weigh it out.
Be careful with storing calcium hypochlorite, as it reacts violently with organics, and must be stored according to the label.

Copper ions and hypochlorite are mainly responsible for oxidative inactivation of paraoxon-hydrolyzing activity in human high density lipoprotein.
Copper ions and hypochlorite are mainly responsible for oxidative inactivation of paraoxon-hydrolyzing activity in human high density lipoprotein.A similar inactivation was also obtained with HDL-PON1, although to a less extent.
The inactivation of PON1, either purified or HDL-bound, by ascorbate/Cu2+ was prevented by catalase or thiols, but not general hydroxyl radical scavengers, suggesting the involvement of Cu(2+)-catalyzed oxidation in PON1 inactivation.
