Research Excerpts

Overview

Chlorite is an unavoidable by-product of the disinfection of drinking water by means of chlorine dioxide. Chlorite (ClO2-) is a primary decomposition product when chlorine dioxide is added during water treatment. The toxic effects of both compounds are possible.

Toxicity

Chlorite (ClO2-) is a primary decomposition product when chlorine dioxide is added during water treatment. Chlorite was found to be from 48 to 18 times less acutely toxic to larvae and adult fish.
