Chlorine Dioxide: Does it Contribute to Human Health? a Brief Review

Authors: Humberto Bastidas-Ortiz
Comments: 9 Pages. Field evidence shows that chlorine dioxide, when properly administered, can redeem from COVID-19

Chlorine dioxide, ClO2, a non-patentable substance, is a molecule composed by two of the most disinfectant elements found in nature, chlorine and oxygen, both of them electronegative. As early as 1850, ClO2 has been being used in the oxidation of water and, since 1944, in the treatment of waste water and the bleaching of cellulose. Similarly, oxygen, in the form of hydrogen peroxide, is used to disinfect ambulances, hospital rooms and medical equipment, among other applications. Recently, the Global Health and Life Coalition (GHLC) has reported favourable results in the treatment of COVID-19 using ClO2 under a parameterized protocol design by scientists members of this organization. Other research works carried out in dierent parts of the world sustain the hypothesis that, as a relatively stable radical and as a highly oxidant regardless of the pH in its surroundings, ClO2 and its application in an area so sensitive as human health presents itself as an alternative worth studying further.

Happy 100th Birthday, Polarography: Dedicated to Jaroslav Heyrovsky (1890 – 1967)

Authors: Raji Heyrovska
Comments: Pages.

Hundred years ago on February 10, 1922, Jaroslav Heyrovsky used renewable dropping mercury electrode as a tool for obtaining the current, voltage curve for dissolved solutes in solutions. Thus, polarography was born and has now stood a century as a unique electrochemical method thanks to the renewable fresh metal/solution interface which makes the current, voltage curves absolutely reproducible. The present author learnt this technique using the original galvanometer and photographic paper in her post graduate years. Subsequently she had the pleasure of doing postdoctoral work in Heyrovsky’s Institute of Polarography in Prague. Presented here are some of her articles which contribute to the wonders of polarography.
