“This 2018 peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, demonstrates that chlorine dioxide gas is very effective at eliminating pathogens from a variety of fruits, vegetables, melons, seeds, and food preparation surfaces. “Data generated by this study show that even when …
Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics of Alternate Drinking Water Disinfectants
“In this 1982 research performed on rats it was identified that C102 (chlorine dioxide) and its metabolites are eliminated from the body more rapidly than chlorine, and they do not appear to increase trihalomethane concentrations at low dosages.” This documents a benefit and increased safety …
Chlorine Dioxide Water Disinfection: A Prospective Epidemiology Study
This peer-reviewed article reports on a rural epidemiologic study of 198 individuals exposed to drinking water disinfected with chlorine dioxide for a period of 3 months. A control group of 118 nonexposed persons was also studied. Pre-exposure hematologic and serum chemical parameters were compared with …
Inhibition of the Binding of Variants of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Spike Protein to a Human Receptor by Chlorine Dioxide
By Norio Ogata and Takanori Miura, “Annals of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics” AbstractAim: COVID-19 caused by a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has become an ongoing worldwide pandemic. A safe and potent virucidal disinfection system is urgently needed to protect the population from the virus. Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) …
CDS FACT SHEET: WHAT IS IT AND HOW IS IT USED?
WHAT IS CHLORINE DIOXIDE?Chlorine dioxide (CDS, or ClO2) is a chemical compound that has powerful antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. It was first discovered in 1811 and first used commercially in 1944.
Systematic Evaluation of the Efficacy of Chlorine Dioxide in Decontamination of Building Interior Surfaces Contaminated with Anthrax Spores
In this article the efficacy of chlorine dioxide (CD) gas generated by two generation systems, Sabre (wet system with gas generated in water) and ClorDiSys (dry system with gas generated in air), were evaluated for inactivation of Bacillus anthracis spores (anthrax spores) on six building …
Toxicological Review of Chlorine Dioxide and Chlorite
This document presents background and justification for the hazard and dose-response assessment summaries in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) IRIS summaries may include an oral reference dose (RfD), inhalation reference concentration (RfC), and a carcinogenicity assessment.

EPA Registration of Chlorine Dioxide as Disinfectant and Sanitizing Agent
“Chlorine Dioxide is registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a disinfectant, sanitizer and sterilizer which is defined as the ability “to destroy or eliminate all forms of microbial life including fungi, viruses, and all forms of bacteria and their spores”. Below …
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Chlorine Dioxide
This July 2021 peer-reviewed study investigates the use of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) for treatment of COVID-19 disease, AIDS and Influenza in humans. Interesting findings include that, at low concentrations, ClO2⁻ can protect erythrocytes from oxidative stress while at the same time inhibiting the excessive production …
HHS Public Access: Inactivation of bacterial biothreat agents in water, a review
“This article presents a review of research relevant to disinfection of bacteria with the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety, and their potential surrogates. The efficacy of chlorine, monochloramine, chlorine dioxide, and ultraviolet light to inactivate each organism in suspension …
