{ClorDiSys} "One of the very rst commercial uses for our chlorine dioxide gas was for the sterilization of implantable contact lenses, where it was proven to the FDA that there were no measureable residuals"

"Adults of phosphine-susceptible and -resistant strains of [insects] exposed for 2–12 h to a chlorine dioxide gas concentration of 1.40 g/m3 (520 ppm) in an outdoor trailer during July and October of 2015. The mean ± SE temperatures in July and October were 32.8 ± 0.5°C and 24.8 ± 0.6°C, respectively. In July, complete mortality after 5 d was achieved"

{Treatment of stored wheat grain} {PureLine chlorine dioxide used} "Mode of Action of chlorine dioxide against insect pests •Oxidative stress--ClO2 enhances the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside larvae of Tribolium castaneumand Plodiainterpunctella. It also causes more antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and thioredoxin-peroxidase) being synthesized by gene up-regulation. However excess ROS eventually accumulates and imposes oxidative stress to cells, which leads to the lethal effect."
