Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
Chlorine dioxide (CLO2) is exclusively an anthropogenic gas. This means that it cannot be found naturally. This synthesis is widely used in bleaching processes for paper pulp, flour, textile and leather cleaning. It can also be applied for its biocide and disinfecting properties for many other applications like wastewater treatment and is used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Chlorine dioxide effects on health
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) taint varies from red-orange to green-orange. Its fragrance is irritating and smells like chlorine compounds. Non-explosive in the dark, it becomes unstable with light and can produce an explosive mixture under the sunlight or with fast heating (R5). Very toxic by inhalation, it can cause severe burnings (R34). Soluble into the water, it can form hydrochloric acid, which is very corrosive and harmful to aquatic organisms (R50).
