Dilution is key to safely consuming bleach. The CDC recommends adding eight drops of unscented bleach per gallon of water, if that water is clear. If the water you want to purify is cloudy, and you cannot first filter those occlusions from it, the CDC says you should double that quantity to 16 drops per gallon.

Read More »After President Trump mused about consuming disinfectants during a press conference last week, public health officials were quick to state the dangers of doing just that. But, there is a circumstance in which heavily diluting substances like bleach in water you plan on drinking is actually a good idea. And I want to make sure that potentially life-saving information isn’t lost to this moment’s political chaos. That’s right, adding bleach or other disinfectants to drinking water that may contain deadly pathogens, like viruses, is a proven way to make that water safe to drink.

Read More »For many of the same reasons, bleach is often the easiest, most cost effective solution to disinfecting drinking water here in the United States, too. Outdoor enthusiasts don’t need an expensive water filter—a small bottle with an eye dropper in the lid, filled with household bleach, works just fine. In the event of a disaster, or even just a utility outage that leaves you without the ability to boil water, bleach is an affordable, effective solution at home or while traveling. Why isn’t chlorine dioxide the preferred solution, since it’s more effective? It’s also more difficult and more expensive to manufacture, and if you want chlorine dioxide to kill challenging stuff like Cryptosporidium, you need to wait while it has four hours to work inside your water bottle. Chlorine dioxide also has a much worse impact on the taste of water than plain chlorine does, and, according to EPA guidelines, the allowable dose of chlorine (four parts per million) is higher than that of chlorine dioxide (0.8 PPM). Chlorine’s ease of production and ease of use make up for its reduced effectiveness. My wife and I were in southern Baja when COVID-19 really hit the fan. In the absence of easily available information on conditions at home, a gallon of bleach was the first thing I bought before we made the drive back to Montana. That one gallon would have given us the ability to disinfect 1,344 gallons of drinking water. Its abundant availability here in the West is another thing that makes bleach such a convenient solution. Just note that bleach has a one-year shelf-life.

One of 23 studied incidents involving children aged one to three years old resulted in “superficial burns in the esophagus.” One of the advantages of using chlorine as a disinfectant in drinking water is that, in the five to six percent concentration level that’s typical in household bleach, the incredibly off-putting smell and taste of the substance limits how much could be ingested without great effort. The CDC says you’d need to ingest somewhere between six and 17 ounces of bleach to achieve a fatal dose. Weitz backs that up. “If there’s an unpleasant taste to the water, you’re not going to want to drink it,” he says. “But I don’t think it’s possible to accidentally drink enough to hurt yourself, and I’m aware of no longterm health effects that result from drinking too high a dosage.” But in terms of safety, all of us are evidence that low concentrations of bleach are safe to drink. The United States first started chlorinating tap water in 1903, and the practice has resulted in no documented health risks, despite rumors that it can cause cancer. Unfortunately though, neither bleach nor chlorine dioxide can be shown to have any health benefits beyond disinfecting surfaces and drinking water.
