{Chlorine Dioxide & other chems evaluation for use with Crops} "To form chlorine dioxide, sodium chlorate (NaClO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) are reacted with sulfur dioxide (SO2), or chloric acid is reacted with methanol (CH3OH) (HSDB, 2005). Alternatively, chlorine dioxide can be formed with chlorine (Cl2) and sodium chlorite; sodium hypochlorite with hydrochloric acid; potassium chlorate with sulfuric acid; or by passing nitrogen dioxide through a column of sodium chlorate." "Although chlorite in water may move into groundwater, reactions with soil and sediments may reduce the amount of chlorite reaching groundwater. The toxic action of chlorite is primarily in the form of oxidative damage to red blood cells at doses as low as 10 mg/kg of body weight. Toxic reaction products are not known to occur when chlorite is mixed with organic materials. EPA has set a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 249 0.8 mg/L for chlorine dioxide in drinking water and 1 mg/L for chlorite"

Flour and bread, prepared with or without treatment with chlorine dioxide, as long-term sources of vitamin E for rats
Flour and bread, prepared with or without treatment with chlorine dioxide, as long-term sources of vitamin E for rats
1958. {Destruction of vitamin E in flour by chlorine dioxide." "Chemical estimation of total tocopherols indicated a loss of 70% after the application of ClO2 at 30 ppm (the commercial level used). [though some estimation info may be inaccurate?]" "The destruction of the vitamin by chlorine dioxide was confirmed in biological tests on rats, ****which had smaller testes when their diets had ClO2-treated flour."
