Abstract: The safety and toxicity of sodium hypochlorite is reviewed with particular correlation
to topical use. Since sodium hypochlorite is one of the most widely used chemicals in the
environment, its safety has been established by long use and toxicity profile. This chapter
reviews recent toxicology testing including routine systemic LD50, topical LD50, topical
toxicology, irritation and sensitization. The resulting toxicity or safety profile clarifies the
safe topical use of electrolytically produced sodium hypochlorite solution (ExSept,
Amuchina 10%).
