Chlorine Dioxide Externally

[Guest guest]

I'm interested in using MMS

for such purposes as washing food to delay decomposition, spraying

places where mildew is inclined to form (which in the rainy season in

Japan is anywhere organic, as well as on such plastics as audio tape)

and just generally spraying for disinfectant purposes.

Does anyone know what the procedure would be? I would imagine it would

be to activate some MMS and then dilute it. But I wonder:

Would the optimal

dilution be the same for a mixture to be used for washing as for

spraying?

Would food (or anything

else) sprayed/washed with it retain any chlorine odor, and for how

long? (I realize I could determine this myself fairly easily)

How long would it be

usable from the time of activation?

Are there circumstances

under which an unactivated solution would be preferable , e.g.

toilets or other

acidic environments

for longterm delayed

release

I've seen an article about

the use of Chlorine Dioxide to prevent mildew in libraries, and it

indicated that the protection lasted a long time, but gave no

quantities, instead referring to some product which is a bag you hang

in the area.

What one knows about MMS all indicates that it breaks down fairly

quickly whether it encounters pathogens or not, so I don;t understand

how any longterm protection could be possible externally either, once

the ClO2 gas produced has dissipated or reacted.
