Chlorine dioxide does not occur naturally in the environment but is
synthetically manufactured. It is used as a bleach at paper manufacturing plants
and as a water disinfectant. Due to its high reactivity, chlorine dioxide
released does not remain in the environment for a substantial period of time.
