Can organisms build up a resistance to Chlorine Dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is widely used as a disinfecting agent in the food industry in fruit and vegetable washing, flume water disinfection, meat and poultry disinfection and odour control. In industrial processes, chlorine dioxide is used in industrial water treatment (cooling systems/towers), ammonia plants, pulp mills (slime control, paper machines), oil fields and the electronics industry. It is also widely used within oral healthcare products in everyday life.
