Neutralization of Shellfish Poison by Chemical Disinfectants

Abstract

The neutralization of shellfish poison by 11 chemical disinfectants was studied. Both sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite were effective in neutralizing the toxicity of the poison at 3 ppm/microgram of poison at room temperature (25C) and at 4 ppm/microgram of poison at 4C. Alkali in the hypochlorite solutions tends to enhance the effectiveness of these disinfectants. Potassium permanganate was effective as a poison neutralizer at 50 ppm/microgram of poison at 25C.
