Concerns
Although chlorine dioxide does not produce THMs and HAAs, it does produce a different set of disinfection by-products, chiefly the chlorite ion, as well as
lower concentrations of the chlorate ion. Typically, the ClO2 reacts either with dissolved organic matter, or with dissolved metals such as manganese (II),
to accept an electron and become a chlorite ion. Chlorate ion may form due to reaction of the chlorite ion with hypochlorous acid present as an impurity
in chlorine dioxide generators. As a rule of thumb, the concentration of chlorite formed is in the range of 50 to 70 % of the applied ClO2 dose. The
maximum residual disinfectant level for chlorine dioxide set by the U.S. EPA in the Stage 1 D/DBP Rule is 0.8 mg/L. Under the same rule, the maximum
allowable contaminant level (MACL) for chlorite is 1.0 mg/L.
