Effects of Chlorine Concentration on the Structure of Poliovirus

Maria E Alvarez 1, R T O'Brien 1
PMCID: PMC241806  PMID: 6275791

Abstract

Chlorine concentrations below 0.8 mg/liter inactivated poliovirus without causing separation of the viral components. These results indicate that the release of RNA from the capsids is the result, not the cause, of virus inactivation by chlorine.
