Daniele Lantagne, Tufts University.
Chlorine solution is widely used for disinfection in emergency response activities. In Ebola response,0.5%chlorine solution is recommended for cleaning non-living things and surfaces and 0.05% chlorine solution is recommended for cleaning living things.
The methods for on-site manufacturing include: 1) dilution of HTH or NaDCC powder in water; 2) dilution of concentrated liquid solution in water; and, 3) generating sodium hypochlorite using salt,water,and electricity.
