Chlorine dioxide is one of a number of disinfectants that are effective against Giardia Lambia and Cryptosporidium parasites, which are found in drinking water and induce diseases called ‘giardiasis’ and ‘cryptosporidiosis’. The best protection against protozoan parasites such as these is disinfection by a combination of ozone and chlorine dioxide.
