摘要

For many years chlorine dioxide has been known as an unstable but very reactive disinfectant. However, its value has increased tremendously over the past years. Among other reasons, this is due to the fact that chlorine dioxide does not lead to undesirable reaction products, such as chlorophenols, trihalogenmethanes and chloramines. Chlorine dioxide is a very effective disinfectant that affects cell proteins and nucleic acids.
