Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramine Chloramine (monochloramine) is a toxic substance (NH2Cl) created by the chemical reaction of ammonia and sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) under alkaline conditions. It is a yellow liquid at room temperature. It is commonly used in low concentrations as a disinfectant in municipal water systems as an alternative to chlorination. Chloramine use by water purification plants is increasing. Chlorine (sometimes referred to as Free Chlorine) is being phased out in favor of chloramine because chloramine is much more stable and doesn't dissipate from the water before it reaches consumers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
