The American Chemistry Council (“ACC”) issued a paper titled:
Drinking Water Chlorination: A Review of U.S. Disinfection Practices and Issues (“Paper”)
The Paper provides information regarding the role of chlorination in the treatment and distribution of drinking water from a safety/disease prevention standpoint. It also discusses chlorination’s role in:
- Reducing disagreeable tastes and odors;
- Eliminating slime bacteria, molds and algae that commonly grow in water supply reservoirs;
- Controlling and reducing microorganism-containing biofilms; and
- Removing chemical compounds that hinder disinfection.
The Paper addresses additional relevant topics such as:
- The Risk of Waterborne Disease
- The Challenge of Disinfection Byproducts
- Water Security
- Comparing Disinfectants and the Future of Chlorine Disinfection
