Chlorine dioxide has several advantages over chlorine and chloramines in water disinfection and, according to data from the U.S. EPA, its use in municipal water treatment is growing. While adoption is expected to ramp up gradually, chlorine dioxide is already used by 5% of large municipal water systems.
