	ATSDR - ToxFAQs™: Calcium Hypochlorite/Sodium Hypochlorite
		Sodium hypochlorite is generally used dissolved in water at various concentrations.
		Calcium hypochlorite is a white solid that readily decomposes in water releasing oxygen and chlorine.
		In water and soil, sodium and calcium hypochlorite separate into sodium, calcium and hypochlorite ions (an ion is an electrically charged atom or molecule).

	How bleach is made - Background, History, Types of bleach, Raw materials, The manufacturing process of bleach, Quality ...
		In the bleach manufacturing facility, the final sodium hypochlorite solution is put through a series of filters to extract any left-over impurities.
		Household sodium hypochlorite bleach was introduced to Americans in 1909 and sold in steel containers, then in glass bottles.
		In its final bottled form, common sodium hypochlorite bleach does not contain dioxins because chlorine must be in a gaseous state for dioxins to exist.

	Sodium hypochlorite Antiseptics
		A solution of sodium hypochlorite is frequently used as a disinfectantand as a bleaching agent; indeed, often it is simply called "bleach", though other chemicals are sometimes given that name as well.
		Sodium hydroxide and chlorine are commercially produced by the chloralkali process, and there is no need to isolate them to prepare sodium hypochlorite.
		Sodium hypochlorite has been used for the disinfection of drinking water, at a concentration equivalent to about 1 liter of household bleach per 4000 liters of water is used.

	Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition
		The Powell Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition Program generates graphs and tables illustrating the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite based on the user's selected temperature, starting weight, and bleach quality.
		The user can automatically generate tables and graphs depicting the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite over time (between 1 and 360 days) for up to four various scenarios based on the selected temperatures, starting weights, and quality of bleach (filtered or non-filtered).
		The Powell Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition Program is available for free to registered users.

	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.

	Sodium Hypochlorite-A Public Health Champion (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But before chlorine disinfectants like sodium hypochlorite were routinely added to our drinking water beginning about 100 years ago, many people became sick and died of waterborne (meaning "carried in the water") diseases.
		Sodium hypochlorite solutions disinfect food preparation surfaces, food sorting machinery, containers and instruments of all types involved in producing, transporting and preparing the foods we love to eat.
		Sodium hypochlorite solutions are also used to disinfect many types of surfaces in hospitals, medical labs, doctors' offices and nursing homes to prevent the spread of infection among patients, residents and workers.

	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).

	THE EFFECTS OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE ON MESOPHILIC AEROBIC BACTERIA
		In veterinary medicine, sodium hypochlorite is used for antisepsis of mammary glands, and for “pre-dipping” and “post-dipping” of milking equipment for disinfecting, at concentrations of 2% to 4% of active chlorine (7, 8).
		Sodium hypochlorite has also been indicated for use in footbaths, as an auxiliary method for treating and preventing pedal infections of cattle.
		Sodium hypochlorite used in the solutions was analyzed to verify the active chlorine concentrations, for the values given on the label may not correspond to the real concentration of active chlorine in the product.

	Stable solution of sodium hypochlorite - Patent 5273678
		The solution contains sodium hypochlorite in a quantity sufficient for 4 to 6 grams per liter of active chlorine, a pH regulator in a quantity sufficient to yield a pH greater than 10 and less than or equal to 10.5 and purified water in a quantity sufficient to yield 1 liter of solution.
		Sodium hypochlorite solution has been used for its bactericidal properties since the beginning of the 19th century (in particular since the work of LABARRAQUE in about 1820).
		A concentration of 4 g/l of hypochlorite is the minimum needed to meet the requirements of the French Pharmacopeia (10th edition, 1989) and a concentration of 6 g/l of hypochlorite corresponds to the maximum value recommended by the National Formulary of USP 21, January 1985, p.
