| Abstract |
Main conclusions of this risk assessment document: little information is available on the effects of chlorine dioxide exposure; it is an irritant to the eyes and respiratory tract. Chlorine dioxide is an in vitro mutagen in mammalian cells. There are no data available on carcinogenic or reproductive effects nor the sensitization potential of chlorine dioxide. Occupational exposure limits in most major countries (including the United Kingdom - OES and the United States - ACGIH) are 0.1ppm (8h-TWA) and 0.3ppm (STEL). |
