How does HClO affect to human health? Think based on our past experience.
Hello.
In here Japan, people’s opinion for atomizing HClO(Hypochlorous acid water) are still separated. HClO is a solution, that used as sterilization of norovirus and influenza for long past years, and last year, Japanese research institution have published that HClO is effective for coronavirus. However, they announced that it is only effective, for spray substance and wipe virus with cloth, or washing your hands, and must not atomize in space under people exists, due to affection for human health.
We have astonished hearing this announce because we have sold Ultrasonic atomizer corresponded to HClO for 20 years, and never heard that user felt bad.
Let’s review “What is HClO?”, first.
What is HClO?
HClO is a solution, and there are two ways for producing.
1. Electrolysis made
Way of conduct electrolysis to sodium chloride aqueous solution.
It says HClO produced by this way has high virus removal ability, than mixture type..
In Japan, this way is only admitted by ministry of health, labor, and welfare.
2. Mixture made
Way of mixing sodium hypochlorite and acid such as hydrochloric acid(HCl) and carbon dioxide gas(CO2).
It says HClO produced by this way could keep longer than electrolytic type.
There are so many types of HClO brand, sold in market. Numerous HClO has set each pH, density, and price. For example, our handled HClO is mixture type, pH6.5, 50 ppm. It could keep about 3 months within un-opened bottle. Before you purchase HClO, we recommend you to talk staff whether it is fitting to your purpose. Otherwise, it might lead accident, such as instrument, gets rust.
Is HClO bad for human health?
Basically, it’s not dangerous touching to HClO, that Japanese government submitted test result of effectiveness, and recommending peoples to use as sterilization stuff. They are denying for atomizing solution, that solution toxicity might affect people’s lung who inhaled.
However, they don’t did any human inhaled test. All HClO manufacturer has a experience, that never problem has happened by atomizing HClO. Some of companies actually did test that proves it will not harm people, but they could not announce in public. In Japan, HClO is not a pharmaceutical products, so companies could not announce, due to Japanese “Pharmaceutical Affairs Law”. Companies has basis, but government announces not to atomize HClO, even though they didn’t do any researches. Companies are keep make advertisement of HClO step by step, and trying people to focus on.
In our past experience, we had install our Ultrasonic atomizer in hospital, nursery room, school, gym, factory, hotel, house, and so on. Once users who get our product, we are still having order of HClO. Users are satisfying for atomizing HClO, that they could prevent from virus infection, and could deodorant rooms.
Focusing on present condition, nobody could say their opinion loudly, so people must decide themselves for atomizing HClO. This answer may be not clear for this blog’s topic. However, because each all company and government has each outlook, there are no standard line for judging. Judge with existed certain things and basis, please decide by yourself.
