综述和比较了二氧化氯或氯气消毒饮用水的毒理学危害。报告了动物实验中显示的不良健康影响以及人类中毒事件。考虑了与消毒剂本身以及消毒剂与水中有机物反应时形成的产物相关的毒理学效应。包括65个参考文献和表格。

The toxicological hazards associated with disinfecting drinking water with either chlorine dioxide or chlorine are reviewed and compared. Adverse health effects shown in animal experiments as well as human poisoning incidents are reported. Toxicological effects, which are associated with the disinfectants themselves and the products formed when the disinfectants react with organic material present in water, are considered.
