To determine the effect upon potentially susceptible individuals, a parallel chronic human investigation was undertaken. Study subjects were three healthy adult males deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. These volunteers received 500 ml of sodium chlorite at a concentration of 5 ppm daily for twelve consecutive weeks; the subsequent observation period extended an additional eight weeks. Upon evaluation of an extensive battery of tests designed to measure the biochemical and physiological response to chlorite ingestion, no clinically significant changes were detected.
