Talk:Sodium dichloroisocyanurate

Structural formula not actualy correct

Structure given in the infobox is not correct; the predominant structure would be its tautomer (with a double bond ...-N=C(-O^-)-...), forming an oxoanion.--84.163.124.175 (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I think so and I think I have fixed it. Mykhal (talk) 18:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Not harmless

The statement that sodium dichloroisocyanurate does not cause any human harm is misleading and untrue with time. It is known to quickly dissociate into cyanuric acid, which has been shown by the OECD and cited by the World Health Organization as being toxic to humans, leading to renal toxicity. Cyanuric acid alone and especially in combination with melamine causes formation of crystals (kidney stones) in kidney tubules, blocking filtration and ultimately leading to kidney failure. Oral exposure is necessary for this to occur.

Removed safety section

...As it was only a load of bullshit. Looked like it was pasted from a retailer site as it wasn't about safety at all, but delivery sizes. Norsci (talk) 09:36, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I imagine the safety section wasn't worth keeping in the form that was removed, but I'd like to have a safety section, containing valid information. --Keithonearth (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
