用二氧化氯消毒水可以消除三卤甲烷的形成，但会产生一些自身的污染物。考虑中的政府监管将要求将这些副产品清除到不存在检测方法的水平。俄亥俄迈阿密大学的化学家开发了一种测量氯酸盐、亚氯酸盐和次氯酸盐离子的方法，其含量低于1毫克/升。对于含有氯化物离子以外的多个氯代氧化剂的混合物进行分析，可以应用改进的碘量法和Suzuki Gordon法的改进。检测精度范围为正负3%。包括23个参考文献和表格。

Disinfecting water with chlorine dioxide eliminates trihalomethane formation but generates several contaminants of its own. Government regulation under consideration would require the removal of these by-products to levels for which no detection methods have existed. Chemists at Miami University of Ohio have developed a method to measure chlorate, chlorite, and hypochlorite ions at levels of less than 1 mg/L. For analyses of mixtures that have several chlorinecontaining oxidizing agents other than chlorate ion, the modified iodometric method and a modification of the Suzuki-Gordon method can be applied. The detection accuracy range is plus or minus three percent. Includes 23 references, tables.
