Chlorine Dioxide Application Chart
Common Uses and P.P.M. General Reference Guide This chart is for general reference only. Some applications such as commercial water applications may require a different ppm or CT time depending on the specific application, amount of contamination, and microbes being targeted.
This chart is representative of the amounts of chlorine dioxide known to be used for applications based on product information, EPA, and FDA reports.
