How can we reduce the dangers of sodium chlorate to humans by using other chemicals?

If you mean "what else can we use instead of sodium chlorate" then you need to tell us what you want it to do.\n\n"About 93% of sodium chlorate is used for production for bleaching in the pulp and paper industry. The remainder is utilized in the agricultural industry"\n\nIf you want to know how sodium chlorate is harmful to humans, then:\n"Inhalation: \nInhalation of dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract; symptoms may include sore throat, coughing, headache, and dizziness. \nIngestion: \nCauses irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause abdominal pain, hemolysis, methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, anuria, coma, and convulsions. May cause liver and kidney damage. Death may occur from renal failure, generally in 4 days. Estimated lethal dose from 15 to 30 grams. \nSkin Contact: \nCauses irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. \nEye Contact: \nCauses irritation, redness, and pain. \nChronic Exposure: \nRepeated ingestion of small amounts may cause loss of appetite and weight loss. Chronic exposure may cause kidney effects."\n\nFinally, because sodium chlorate is extremely flammable, all pesticide products containing sodium chlorate must contain a fire retardant in the formulation. Some manufacturers will state this in the vicinity of their trade names; others will state the presence of a fire retardant in the area of the ingredients statement.

try a sequestering agent like Super Sequa-Sol, it is in no way toxic and can be added while people are in the water.

You could probably just dehydrate it with concentrated sulfuric acid and heat.\n\nAnother method would be to generate a alkyl halide with thionyl chloride (SOCl2) and then eliminate it in a E2 reaction with sodium ethoxide in ethanol (especially strong base to be sure you get elimination, and not SN1)

Only isotonic saline is used, that is 0.9% Sodium CHloride solution.  This is what the human body is made of almost entirely.  A hypertonic or hypotonic solution such as sugar water or plain water would cause the cells to rupture and disintegrate.  This is also why if you get water on an open wound it burns whereas if someone washed the wound with normal saline, it would not.

My high school chemistry teacher made sure we were all warned about this dangerous chemical.\n\nH20. Water.

so does a million other things. We live in a highly toxic, carcenogenic world full of chemicals and radiation, that is toxic to our bodies...what can you do? dont talk on ur phone, use a microwave, go to a gas station, watch TV, go outside your home.

Believe it or not, Chlorine is not found naturally.  There are many compounds that can be used as precursors to make Chlorine.  Mostly, Sodium Chloride is put through an electrolysis reaction in water to yield chlorine.  Another  way to make Chlorine is to react Manganese Oxide (The same compound found in regular AA, AAA and C batteries) with Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid.  \nPlease see my sources for more information.

Chlorine is used as a disinfectant in swimming pools,water treatment plants and under groung water supplies!so the supplies are chlorinated to kill the bacteria and other germs that might pollute water!!!

Hydrochloric acid is used for pH adjusting swimming pools.\n\nPhosphoric acid is in Coca Cola.

There are a very large number of chlorides but briefly many are salts. Practically every metal forms a chloride. As far as the environment is concerned it's not the chloride that's the problem but the metal it's combined with. (sea water contains a considerable amount of sodium chloride). Many of the other chlorides are organic and most of these are harmful to the environment. Common organic chlorides include dichloroethane which is used as a solvent and degreasing agent, tetrachlorimethane used in dry cleaning and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a multitude of uses as a plastic. The other noteable chloride is hydrochloric acid, which although corrosive is one of the least dangerous of the 'mineral acids.

Citric acid and products like Biocid have been used.\n\nhttp://www.ultra-chemical.com/index2.htm

1. sodium hypochlorite\n2. hydrogen chloride\n3. concentrated sulphuric acid\n4. oxidising it, for example with potassium manganate(VII).\n\nIf you've done the other 96, well done!

No! It isn't really possible for many reasonss to include dilution and chlorine. In addition, body fluids are not normally released in a pool!

The best thing would be a bit of bleach.  Do the math - you should shoot for about 2 to 4 parts per million hypochlorite (since commercial preparations are usually 5% - which is 50,000 parts per million - YOU NEED TO DILUTE IT 25,000 FOLD BEFORE YOU DRINK IT - SEE MY NOTE AT THE BOTTOM).  You should also try to store the water in the dark, in an opaque container, or at least in a brown or green glas container since algae growth is photosynthetically driven (i.e. needs light)\n\nBE CAREFUL HANDLING BLEACH - AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IT IS TOXIC AND CORROSIVE.
