| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS ER0x7ol7. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Treating household water with low-cost, widely available commercial bleach is recommended by some organizations to improve water quality and reduce disease in developing countries. I analyzed the chlorine concentration of 32 bleaches from 12 developing countries ; the average error between advertised and measured concentration was 35% (range=-45% - 100% ; standard deviation=40%). Because of disparities between advertised and actual concentration, the use of commercial bleach for water treatment in developing countries is not recommended without ongoing quality control testing. |
