It is also used for disinfection of municipal water treatment plants after conversion to chlorine dioxide. An advantage in this application, as compared to the more commonly used chlorine, is that trihalomethanes (such as chloroform) are not produced from organic contaminants.〔 Chlorine dioxide generated from sodium chlorite is approved by FDA under some conditions for disinfecting water used to wash fruits, vegetables, and poultry.〔()〕 Sodium chlorite, NaClO2, sometimes in combination with zinc chloride, also finds application as a component in therapeutic rinses, mouthwashes,〔("New mouthwashes may help take bad breath away" ) article by Joyce Cohen in ''USA Today''〕〔(SmartMouth 2 Step Mouth Rinse )〕 toothpastes and gels, mouth sprays,〔(Skin Deep cosmetic safety database: products containing sodium chlorite ),〕 as preservative in eye drops,〔Blink Tears〕 and in contact lens cleaning solution under the trade name Purite. Under the brand name Oxine it is used for sanitizing air ducts and HVAC/R systems and animal containment areas (walls, floors, and other surfaces). Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals is investigating a drug that they refer to as NP001 for treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.〔("Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals Reports Clinical Results from Phase 1 NP001 Study in the Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)" )〕 Some people with ALS have concluded that NP001 is a formulation of sodium chlorite, and are ordering the chemical and self-dosing outside of any scientific study. Preliminary results suggest that this sodium chlorite treatment is less effective than NP001.〔("Frustrated ALS Patients Concoct Their Own Drug" ) Wall Street Journal April 15, 2012〕〔("Making Their Own ALS Drug" ), citing the Wall Street Journal article〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「sodium chlorite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
