to shipping containers. The pouch slowly releases chlorine dioxide gas, which kills E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria on the produce. They vent chlorine dioxide gas at a controlled rate using a semi-permeable membrane.

Controlled rates of the gas release is crucial, since if it is released too quickly, it can cause chemical burns on the fruits and vegetables. Bai said, We helped test the pouch with the new design and found it vents at a more controlled rate and has the desired effect.
