Sodium hypochlorite is widely used as the main component of cleaners and has an excellent bleaching and sterilizing effect in living and medical environments. In addition to bleaching, it is used for wastewater treatment and for sterilization in food factories, and also for disinfectants during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study analyzed reports of the health effects of sodium hypochlorite and classified them by toxicity along the exposure pathway. Most case reports described the health effects of acute high-concentration exposure, with a common case being dental exposure, mainly during treatment.
次氯酸钠作为清洁剂的主要成分被广泛使用,在生活和医疗环境中具有出色的漂白和杀菌效果。除漂白外,它还用于废水处理以及食品工厂的消毒,在新冠疫情期间也用作消毒剂。本研究分析了次氯酸钠对健康影响的报告,并根据暴露途径的毒性对其进行了分类。大多数病例报告描述了急性高浓度暴露对健康的影响,常见的情况是牙科暴露,主要发生在治疗期间。
