A study conducted in collaboration between japan's Panasonic Corporation and Kitasato Environmental Science Center shows that the effective chlorine components volatilized by chlorine dioxide aqueous solution can eliminate the vast majority of Group A hemolytic streptococcus in the environment. According to a recent news release from Panasonic Corporation, Group A hemolytic streptococcus mainly spreads through droplets and direct contact, leading to conditions such as Group A hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis and impetigo. The main pathogen of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, which saw a record number of cases in japan this year, is Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. Chlorine dioxide aqueous solution can be generated by electrolyzing saline water and has good bactericidal and deodorizing effects.
