Why use chlorine dioxide gas with its low safety limit?
Chlorine dioxide gas does have a 0.1 ppm 8 hour threshold, but chlorine dioxide gas provides a better safety factor due to its low odor threshold, making it possible to detect at low levels without sensing equipment. Chlorine dioxide gas has a much quicker cycle time, shortening the overall time that potentially unsafe conditions exist. VPHP and formaldehyde both have longer cycle times, where the unsafe levels exist for a longer time. Chlorine dioxide gas is also used at much lower concentrations than both formaldehyde and VPHP. Combined with the fact that chlorine dioxide gas has a quicker aeration time, this means that in case of an emergency, chlorine dioxide gas can be aerated to safe levels faster than formaldehyde and VPHP.
