Citation:
Wahman, D. Dichlor & Trichlor: Water Chemistry Implications. 15th Annual EPA Drinking Water Workshop: Small Systems Challenges and Solutions, Covington, KY, August 28 - 30, 2018.
Impact/Purpose:
#1 The environmental or health problem addressed by the study: The water chemistry of dichlor and trichlor in drinking water is reviewed along with the implications of using these chemicals in free chlorine systems. #2 A general description of the work and results: The presentation is a summary of the existing literature on the water chemistry associated with using dichlor or trichlor as a free chlorine source in free chlorine systems. #3 The long term importance or significance of the findings: Summarizes the implications of dichlor or trichlor use in drinking water, including discussion of the issues in measuring free chlorine in these systems. #4 Who would be interested in or could apply the results (e.g. program or regional partners, general public, local communities): Office of Water, EPA Regions, state requlators, and drinking water utilities
Description:
The implications of the water chemistry associated with dichlor and trichlor use in drinking water are explored.
