Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of air disinfection with chlorine dioxide(ClO2)in the saps and determine the concentration change in order to ensure the safety for people to enter the saps.Methods The disinfection was done at the concentration of 1 000 mg/L and the spray dose of 10 ml/m3 and then to count the total bacteria and fungi with the cascade impactors in the saps before and after air disinfection and to monitor the concentration of ClO2 with the air ClO2 monitor(iTX).Results The 94.6% of the total bacteria and 92.1% of the fungi died in 30 minutes after disinfection.The concentration of ClO2 in the air decreased from 10 mg/m3 to 0.8 mg/m3 81 minutes later and to 0.3 mg/m3 96 minutes later,after 120 minutes,it was 0 mg/m3.Conclusion The air disinfection effect of ClO2 used at the dose of 10 ml/m3 and the concentration of 1 000 mg/L is satisfactory.96 minutes after disinfection,the concentration of ClO2 is safe for human health.
