• Description: Dichloroisocyanduric acid sodium salt (DCD) is a disinfectant that is used to control bacteria, fungi, and algae in wastewater treatment plants. DCD has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent against bacterial spores and the fungal plant pathogen "Botrytis cinerea" when used at concentrations of 0.1-0.3%. DCD also has a low toxicity for mammals, with LD50 values of 3.5g/kg for rats and 2g/kg for mice. The chemical stability of DCD can be increased by adding sodium carbonate or other alkaline substances in a neutral pH environment.
