The molecule has been known since 1811, although it did not receive much attention at the time. Later, in the late 1800s, German chemists identified its disinfectant properties. Its use became topical when it was discovered that it could also be used reliably to disinfect drinking water. Since then, its use in this field has become increasingly widespread, but it has only become suitable for the treatment and prevention of human infections in recent years.
Chlorine dioxide in aqueous solution is widely used in the health sector. It is equally suitable for cleaning rooms, disinfecting furniture and sterilising instruments, equipment and machinery. It can also be used for wound treatment in appropriate concentrations.
An aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide, sprayed or spread by a vaporising machine, is suitable for disinfecting the interior of any type of building. It is also harmless to higher organisms when added to drinking water and can be used for daily preventive disinfection without emptying.
