~2003. "Chlorine dioxide and chlorite (ions and salts) are strong oxidizers and react quickly in water or moist body tissues to form chloride ions. Consequently, chlorine dioxide and chlorite (ions and salts) are not detected in human tissues (e.g., blood, urine, fat, or breast milk). [Have some studies shown contradiction??]" " In water, chlorine dioxide is a strong oxidizer; **50–70%** of the chlorine dioxide that reacts with organic and inorganic compounds will immediately appear as chlorite (ClO2-) and chloride (Cl-) ions...chlorine dioxide does result in the formation of other DBPs (e.g., lower chlorinated organics, chlorate, and chlorite) which may be found in drinking water... ***Chlorine dioxide will decompose upon exposure to sunlight. The gas-phase absorption spectrum for chlorine dioxide is the same as in aqueous solution. The primary photochemical reaction of ClO2 in the gas phase corresponds to homolytic scission of one of the chlorine-oxygen bonds (i.e., ClO26ClO + O). Products of this initial reaction generate secondary products including doublet-state oxygen (O2*), chlorine (Cl2), and chlorine trioxide (Cl2O3) . If chlorine dioxide gas is diluted in air to below 15 volume percent, it can be relatively stable in darkness." "Chlorine dioxide alone will not hydrolyze in solution to any appreciable extent between pH 2 and 10. .." "Chlorite ions (ClO2-) are also effective oxidizing agents, although they react much slower than chlorine dioxide""Chlorine substitution in the products, however, is not entirely absent" "Under sunlight, some photolysis intermediates with long half-lives are capable of oxidizing bromide to from bromate."
