Permeability through glass depends on molecular size mainly. There are very few things that can permeate glass, hydrogen and helium are two of them. But even these two won't permeate quartz, that is why the old radio tubes were made from quartz glass, so they wouldn't get "gassy" from helium diffusing into them over time. I would be very surprised if chlorine dioxide could penetrate it, I suspect they measured a loss of the product and assumed it escaped rather than simply broke down over time.

Hello Marshall,

I have been told by an industrial user of chlorine dioxide that they have
ran tests and found that chlorine dioxide will actually permeate through
glass.  It doesn't happen overnight, but over time.

I don't know if I should believe him or if he was just spinning a tale, but
it is a very energetic molecule.

Well, yes and no.  If open to the air, you are correct. If in a tightly
closed bottle it will have nowhere to go, just like the carbon dioxide
in a soda.

 If the water warms up, a lot of the gas will out-gas.
