Sporicidal Activity of Sodium Hypochlorite at Subzero Temperatures

Lynwood A. Jones Jr., Robert K. Hoffman and Charles R. Phillips

Department of the Army, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland 21701

ABSTRACT

Sodium hypochlorite was an excellent disinfectant at low temperatures. With the addition of ethylene glycol to prevent freezing, hypochlorite solutions at low free available chlorine concentrations, were effective against Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores from 0 to -40 C. The effectiveness of this decontaminant was influenced by temperature, pH, and concentration, with pH 7.2 the optimum for decontamination at all temperatures and concentrations.
